[Qt-creator] collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

[Coda Highland]

Windows locks .exe files while the application is loaded into memory.
(This is just an extension to its behavior of locking all open files.)
Restarting Creator will unload the copy loaded into the debugger. That
said, if you quit the program and stop the debugger it should let go
on its own.
