+qemu -daemonize crashes on macOS with "NSPlaceholderDate initialize may have been in progress in another thread"
+Description of problem:
+Context: I build [an open source project](https://tsduck.io/) on several operating systems and architectures. For riscv64, s390x, ppc64, I build in emulated virtual machines. The three emulated OS work correctly when running qemu manually and the project is correctly built.
+
+Now, I want to automate the process in a script: for each target architecture, boot the VM (start qemu as a background process), connect to the VM using ssh, build the software, collect the binaries, shut down the VM.
+
+Starting the same qemu command as used interactively as a background process with `&` does not work and fails immediately, apparently because of the lack of stdin. So, I added option `-daemonize` (and removed `-nographic` because an error message says the two options are incompatible).
+
+Using `-daemonize` instead of `-nographic`, all qemu command immediately fail with the following error:
+
+```
+objc[1141]: +[__NSPlaceholderDate initialize] may have been in progress in another thread when fork() was called.
+objc[1141]: +[__NSPlaceholderDate initialize] may have been in progress in another thread when fork() was called. We cannot safely call it or ignore it in the fork() child process. Crashing instead. Set a breakpoint on objc_initializeAfterForkError to debug.
+```
+Steps to reproduce:
+```
+$ qemu-system-riscv64 -machine virt -smp 8 -m 8192 -daemonize \
+      -bios fw_jump.bin -kernel u-boot.bin \
+      -device virtio-net-device,netdev=net \

+
+All the above commands work correctly when using  `-nographic` instead of `-daemonize`. The virtual disks are the same as in the interactive runs, with a fully configured Linux OS (Ubuntu or Debian).
+Additional information:
+From a [report from here](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/63041445/python-os-high-sierra-nsplaceholderdate-error), I tried to define the environment variable `OBJC_DISABLE_INITIALIZE_FORK_SAFETY=YES` before running qemu. The `[__NSPlaceholderDate initialize]` errors disappear but qemu still crashes immediately.
