Well, for Qt 5 we did have some tests working, but definitely not in
QtBase. For Qt 6 the current maintainer [0] is not yet there. Ideally
we could have them but... man power :-(

On the other hand many endianess issues were catched in Qt 5 times,
and most of that code I believe is still there.

[0] Yep, bus factor too close to 1. Still hat tip to Patrick Franz for the work.
