I don't think there will be a means to "switch" compilers from within
Creator (apart, obviously, from the possibility to change the 'make'
invocation by providing things like CXX=/your/path/to/gcc
LINK=/your/path/to/gcc as "Make arguments" in a project's "Build
settings")

Anything that look like a gdb script made it into the released source
code only by accident and was not used. All that's needed is the part
that looks like C++.

Can't you construct one, or does it break after the next upgrade?

Well, some problems might go unnoticed if they are not reported...

Unlike VC, qmake (and therefore Qt Creator) can handle arbitrarily
nested projects. This gives your more freedom than a strict two-level
(solution and project) approach.

As long as you don't depend on build order you might try to play with
File->Session->Session Manager. If you depend on build order you could
try to setup a master .pro file with TEMPLATE=subdirs and
CONFIG+=ordered.
