Thanks for your reply.

Indeed, my build folder is not in the project directory. When I put a 
.clangd file with the following content next to the compile_commands.json in 
the build folder, the values are still ignored:

CompileFlags:
   Remove: [-G1024, -membedded]

Putting above 2 lines into the config.yaml created by QtCreator under 
$HOME/.config/clangd/ has no effect either.

QtCreator prints "unnown-unknown-unknown-elf-32bit. In target triple it then 
prints "ba-elf". The GCC toolchain is a bare metal ELF toolchain.

Overriding the value with something that should work, like arm-none-eabi, 
has no effect. The log prints still

error: unknown target triple 'ba-unknown-unknown-elf' [clang-diagnostic-error]
