The build configuration only sets parameters for your build system, Creator
does not build anything directly, it's all done by the build system used.

If the build errors do not contain enough information to identify a file
e.g. because only a non-unique part of the file path is written it might
be difficult to relate them to the file that caused the issue. Maybe what
you are seeing is related to that.

If it's easy to fix we should transfer this discussion to codereview.qt-project.
