Ok, that makes sense.  I've added a target "Symbian Device" and in this
scenario the Qt Version which is listed is "Nokia_N97_SDK(Qt 4.7.0).  So
that means you're correct, and my idea of it being dictated by the debugger
library faling to build, was definitely wrong.

However I don't really want to build for a device, I want to build for the
emulator in the SDK.  So the build process should use abld, but the target
should be winscw and not armv5.  It seems that when I add a Symbian Device
as a target, Creator will only build it for armv5.  Does creator even know
where epoc.exe is or is capable of launching the emulator?

OK.  Good point.  I assumed (bad I know) that it may have scanned for epoc32
or something like that.
