Wrong gdb executable filename

Trying to debug a project on the device gives a messagebox with the content:
"The gdb process failed to start. Either the invoked program '/home/alenhard/qtcreator-2.3.81/pythongdb/gdb-arm-none-linux-gnueabi' is missing, or you may have insufficient permissions to invoke the program.
No such file or directory"

The directory contains the gdb exectuable with filename 'gdb-none-linux-gnueabi'.
Adding a symlink 'gdb-arm-none-linux-gnueabi=>gdb-none-linux-gnueabi' fixes the issue.
