I am the author of the ebuild :)

Until 1.0.0 version, $(get_libdir) was the solution to this problem

I guess I could do some ugly hacking there in order to fix that as well but I 
would prefer a cleaner solution

In any case, I am running correct profile, so I think it is a 'qt-creator' 
specific bug. 

I have already opened a discussion with upstream :)
