[Qt-creator] OSX Debugging woes

[Robert Caldecott]

I recently started using static libs with Qt Creator and found a bug
that means if you build a project that depends on a lib (and the lib
has changed but the project using it hasn't, it will compile the lib
but it *won't* re-link it.  This caused me some debugging grief very
similar to what you have described.  I thought I was going nuts at the
time.

I reported this earlier this week and am hoping it will be fixed soon.
