I cannot determine the exact cause why it fails on big-endian emulation.
 Also, trying to load any GUI through the emulator just results in a
blank window, so I cannot even check if the resulting binary is all
right (false-positive).  My best guess is that Qt uses OpenGL to
accelerate drawing, which cannot be emulated correctly, meaning this
could be a test failure without anything being wrong.

As a temporary workaround, I have disabled unittests on big-endian
hardware in v1.15-1 (to be uploaded today), until someone with access to
a hardware machine with X11 can help in checking the exact situation.

[help needed]
If you have a big-endian machine with X11 running, please try executing
the software and check if the resulting UI looks okay or the colors are
messed up -- seeing as how blue was always 0xFF, all output should look
blue-tainted if the test suite diagnosed a problem correctly.

If you want to donate some time to this, you can re-activate the
unittests by appending -DRunUnitTestsOnBigEndian=ON to the
dh_auto_configure call in d/rules.
