Pruning whatever code they do not test on the CI and does not has active
users, no matter how short/long it can be.

d2e4, someone suggested adding cross HPPA (and maybe others) to their
Docker setup. That could be a start.
I'm quite in contact with the CI staff. I sincerely don't think they will
want to add yet another CI image except they have a big client requiring
it :-/
I think this will only be debian, and gentoo - both distributions support
hppa.
I'll bring it up next week, but I will not have high expectations on this.
Btw, I did noticed that the hppa build on debian failed, but was too busy
with other things to look into it. And, I was hoping someone would fix it
as it seemed trivial.
Beside the CI, we have two debian porterboxes for hppa, so testing is
possible.
Well, that's already a bad signal :-/ It means there are no real users for it
(yet?), else you would be seeing complaints :-(
That's being snarky.  qt6-base came out of experimental on 2022-12-30.

It's full of 32-bit issues:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1030315

But the main problem is linking a shared object against a non-PIC archive library.

I was the one that provided the Q_PROCESSOR defines.  At that time the package built successfully.

I assume this is about money (Commercial contract support).
