Yes for the EGL parts: it's possible the files are now built when they 
previously weren't. I think it's the work that made EGL be supported with non-
ES configurations. The same goes for the qevdev* and qfb* files.

The OpenGL 4.4 and 4.5 files might be because your testing environment does not 
support those profiles. Or they simply aren't tested, I don't know.

The qdbusmenu* and qdbustray* things are also probably environmental issues: 
if your DE does not have a host for those specs, they wouldn't get activated.

I can't explain why the qxcb* and font files.

As forkfd.c reaching only 28% usage:
 - part of the file is spawnfd, which wouldn't get used on Linux. I'll see 
about dropping it from the build.
 - a great deal of the code depends on timing of the OS scheduler, so it's 
very hard to increase coverage. One way to do that is to launch a separate 
process that keeps sending SIGCHLD periodically to the test process. 

I think we already have a stress test that launches more than 16 concurrent 
tests and would exercise the "big array", but I will check.

PS: I'm working on clonefd with a colleague.
