Hi,
I'm sorry for the late reply.

On Arch Linux (dunno about other distros) kdelibs uses ~/.kde4 as KDE home, so 
either start qtcreator using:
$ KDEHOME=~/.kde4 SailfishOS/bin/qtcreator
or add this line to your ~/.profile (or .bash_profile or .zsh_profile):
export KDEHOME=$HOME/.kde4

This is due to Qt looking for a KDEHOME env variable that is no more used with 
KDE Frameworks 5 (see https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/118865/ for more).

Cheers
