Description
I recently upgraded a project to 0.9.7 and the additional linker flags no longer appear to be added, e.g. I have added the following in the .qbs file:
of.linkerFlags: ["-lftdi"]
however the flags don't appear in the final linking step and therefore the app fails to compile.
This is under Linux, but probably affects all.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue under Linux using the shown .qbs setting in Qt Creator 0.9.7, then inspect the final linking command to determine where the linker flags are lost. Done means the configured -lftdi flag appears in the final link step and the application compiles.
