Sorry for not being more precise:

I am wondering if this part of the patch:
+               ;; The tests are not maintained and some don't even build
+               (add-before 'configure 'disable-broken-tests
+                 (lambda _
+                   (substitute* "kitsasproject.pro"
+                     ((" *(unittest|testit).*") "")
+                     (("\\\\") ""))))

is of interest given that there already is
      (list #:tests? #f               ;XXX: some tests fail and others segfault
            #:test-target "check"

?
