-DLIBQMI_GLIB_COMPILATION is used when we are compiling internal stuff,
so it's safe to do so within the build.

You probably want to run the GIR scanner not in /libqmi-glib/generated,
but in /libqmi-glib directly. The code within /libqmi-glib/generated
depends on the one in /libqmi-glib (e.g. the base QmiClient object which
is failing here).
