Exactly, that is to work around a PATH problem.
When cross compiling you often end up with you target $(sysroot)/usr/bin in
PATH and therefore configure picks glib-* tools compiled for arm instead of the
native sysroot (or system) path to glib-* tools.
Obviously you can't execute any arm compiled binary on you x86 system.

I know Buildroot for example uses this kind of tricks sometimes :
http://git.buildroot.org/buildroot/tree/package/libglib2/libglib2.mk#n43

I guess OpenEmbedded/Yocto does the same thing.
