    Description

      There are various tests at https://github.com/qt/qtbase/blob/2658f95d3c3aafe3d3da20bf02d597f70277cd8f/tests/auto/cmake/test_static_resources/test_static_resources_propagation/CMakeLists.txt

      which check the various work arounds we implemented to support proper linking of static library object in CMake versions older than 3.21.

      Now that we plan to require CMake 3.21 for Qt 6.2 static builds (as per QTBUG-95018), some of those probably shouldn't be kept anymore.

      Once we release Qt 6.2.0 with the increased minimum version requirement and we've validated that everything works correctly and we don't need the old work arounds anymore, we should remove those tests.
