I found what causes the problem:
The failing tests use the following for finding the path to test files:
QDir::addSearchPath(prefix,
QFileInfo(QString::fromUtf8(__FILE__)).dir().absoluteFilePath(prefix));
In unstable reproducible builds the build path is varied,
and gcc patched to accept setting __FILE__ to a fixed
(reproducible) location.
In other words, when Debian will start changing __FILE__ also on the
buildds this will become a FTBFS also there.
Hm, I understand the benefit of reproducible builds. But does this
really need to extend to test binaries which do not get packaged? These
tests need to be as much stand-alone as possible and work out of the box
in any context (host OS, target OS).
I didn't find a recommendation how to solve the issue. I hope a custom
macro is okay.
