AFAICT, the semaphore is there because [other platforms] initialize Qt4 in a 
different thread.

Anyway, by design of a semaphore (in general), there is absolutely no point in 
a semaphore that is only ever used from a single thread. It will either result 
in a no-op or a deadlock, neither of which is useful.
