Thats untested.

Mh, i have not tested make based builds with the bare metal plugin. So i guess
the problem is that qtcreator does not display the baremetal plugin run
configuration. I know that its working with qmake and qbs based builds. There
is a sample qbs file below so you could use to see the baremetal run config
options. 

If your project is in the open, i could take a look?

What does mostly works mean? You have not provided a gdb log.

sample qbs file:
import qbs 1.0

    type: "application"
    Depends { name:"cpp" }
    cpp.positionIndependentCode: false
    cpp.debugInformation: true
    cpp.commonCompilerFlags: ["-mthumb","-mcpu=cortex-m4","-mfloat-abi=hard","-mfpu=fpv4-sp-d16",

    cpp.linkerFlags:[
                "-mthumb","-mcpu=cortex-m4","-mfloat-abi=hard","-mfpu=fpv4-sp-d16",
                 "-Wl,--gc-sections","-T",path+"/linker_skript_for_my_board.ld"]
    cpp.includePaths: ["put your relative include paths here"]
    files: [
        "put your files for build here"
    ]
    Properties {
        condition: qbs.buildVariant === "debug"
        cpp.defines: outer.concat(["DEBUG=1"])
    }
    Group {
        qbs.install: true
        fileTagsFilter: "application"
    }
}
