Can't tell for sure for Maemo which I never used. 3 months ago, I was cross compiling apps for Qt4.7 embedded on PowerPC with the same version of QtCreator I was using at home for Qt5.4 desktop. So it is quite flexible.
I don't use anymore Qt4.x toolchains, but don't see why it wouldn't still be supported (Creator only launches qmake/make, which stays the same for all versions).

In the end, I also use it a lot with embedded devices (DsPIC, STM32, SAM7, ...), and calling their compilers/flasher tools, from inside QtCreator. It is less polished than when doing pure Qt thing, but QtCreator is lights years ahead of MplabX or IAR IDEs, so it is good...
