32 or 64 bit?

I had breakpoints working fine (i.e. apart from the "usual" brokenness
of breakpoints in constructors with old gdb) with Qt Creator and a 
GCCE compiled application from a Linux host at some point of time.

However, I did neither check the RC1 binaries for that use case nor 
did I do any testing under Windows.
