Hm, doesn't that mean that one of the two Qt installations is incomplete with regards to developing for it? You cannot build qmake projects with the 32-bit version either, right? At the moment, qmake is our entry point for setting up the Qt modules using setup-qt.
If you are working on the command line only, you might get away with installing the two packages one after the other (both with their associated qmake), calling setup-qt while they are "complete". However, in Qt Creator you always need the right qmake.
