The Creator 2.0 alpha binary package does install both gdb 6.8 in mingw 
dir and python gdb in its own dir. The gdb preferences still points to 
the mingw one since this is a upgrade install. But after I point it to 
the python one (gdb-i686-pc-mingw32.exe), I now get an error trying to 
start a debugging session: "Executable failed: During startup program 
exited with code 0xc0000135."

I am starting to this Creator 2 alpha works only with Qt 4.7 now. Really 
frustrating. :(

Filed a bug on this: 
<http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTCREATORBUG-934>

Back to Mac for debugging...
