In CodeXL 1.8.9654 under Linux it's not possible to debug Qt applications because your init script overrides the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to be your current CodeXL path. GDB, as a sub-process, inherits this variable and wants to start my application with wrong libraries.
This is problematic, since you use an „A” version of Qt, but if I don't use exactly that version, errors are popping up, like this one:

Since I cannot start my program inside CodeXL, but CodeXL also won't start with other versions Qt, please don't use the LD_LIBRARY_PATH „solution” in order to start your application with your version of Qt. Instead I would suggest using RUNPATH with ORIGIN processing, like this one at linking time: LDFLAGS="-Wl,-rpath,'\$\$ORIGIN' -Wl,-z,origin".
