Investigated this and discovered that qt-creator installs some files into /usr/libexec as part of the build process. Since there is no configuration option to specify where to put libexec (it is hard-coded), I had to create a patch file to change the /usr/libexec to /usr/lib/qtcreator in qt-creator/qt-creator.pri QT build configuration file. In this comment, I have attached an archive of my modifications to the PKGBUILD to get it to install files to the proper location. qtcreator.pri.patch is the patchfile which gets patched before going into the build folder and starting the build process.

I have tested the package a little bit and it appears the proper functionality remains although it was hard for me to find exactly where the programs stored in /usr/libexec get called thus I may have not adequately tested it. Someone who is more familiar with the IDE should probably test it.

I'm going to push packages with this patch into [testing]. Please test that everything that uses the stuff that was originally installed to libexec works fine (such as clangbackend and qml2puppet) and that qtcreator can find those tools.

Since I didn't hear back, I went ahead and moved the packages into [extra].

After this change, QtCreator no longer highlights functions with Clang model enabled.
Downgrading to previous package release fixes the issue.

reported as new issue  FS#48309

I have not tested it, but it appears you should also change line 449 in
qt-creator/src/plugins/coreplugin/icore.cpp

and possibly line 46 in qtcreator.qbs

Can you please report this to QtCreator upstream and ask them to change this? Also, post the link to the bug report here.
