-As a workaround, edit ''C:\Qt\4.4.0\src\corelib\arch\qatomic_windows.h'' (or the equivalent on your system).  Add ''#if 0'' before line 393 and the corresponding ''#endif'' before line 400, so the entire block looks like this:
+As a workaround, edit ''C:\Qt\4.4.0\src\corelib\arch\qatomic_windows.h'' (or the equivalent on your system).  In the declaration block on lines 392-398, add a ''volatile'' qualifier to the first argument of each prototype:
