Apparently, Creator believes that your target OS is OS X. Go to 
Options->Build&Run->Compilers, and select the toolchain you are using in 
your Kit. Check the ABI field. Presumably it says "osx" in one of the 
fields (if not, please report back; then we'll have to investigate 
further). Change the first field to "custom" and now adapt the entries 
accordingly.
You might also want to file a bug about the ABI mis-detection.
