Would you look at that - freshly built qtcreator definitely refers to
non-existing qmake (I've rebuilt qt4_for_qtcreator and qtcreator):

Cannot update Qt version information:
/nix/store/0g7rv5wclspqz80pb2dkjxqxf2651xar-qt-4.8.3/bin/qmake cannot
be run.

$ ls -l /nix/store/0g7rv5wclspqz80pb2dkjxqxf2651xar-qt-4.8.3/
ls: cannot access
/nix/store/0g7rv5wclspqz80pb2dkjxqxf2651xar-qt-4.8.3/: No such file or
directory

Does anyone have any idea where qtcreator may get that broken store
path from? It's the same hash even though I've changed the nix
expression for qt4_for_qtcreator. That shouldn't be possible.
