No, it doesn't.
Upstream creates three little test binaries, that are used in the
upstream testsuite.
Since 3.2.8a-1 I place these test binaries in /usr/libexec/xfig on
build to be able to use them in autopkgtest. This has the advantage,
that autopkgtest uses test binaries that are build in the same
environment as the xfig binary, which is more realistic than building
these test binaries during autopkgtest, which may run in a different
environment than the original build.
So I do not run the testsuite here but only build and package the test
binaries.

No problem. But the above mentioned setup allows to run an
autopkgtest on the destination architecture (without need of a
compiler), since the test binaries are packaged.
BTW: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/xfig/-/pipelines/280000 shows,
that test-crossbuild-arm64 succeeded in the salsa pipeline :-)
