[Qt-creator] Qt Creator 2.8 on Linux - g++ version

Hi,

While trying the beta of 2.8 on Linux 64, I notice it now needs a 
libstdc++ for g++ 4.6 or greater.

This is slightly annoying, as for platforms like RHEL / CentOS 6.4, they 
come with g++ 4.4, so it's not possible to run Qt Creator 2.8 without 
building a new g++ from source using either setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH 
to the newer libstdc++ location, or symb-linking it.

Was this decision by design? Does Qt Creator need to be built with g++ 
4.6 or above for say newer C++ features?

Thanks,
Peter Pearson
