That may be due to these lines that modify configure.ac, which force
an autoreconf either way even if AUTORECONF=1 not given:

    $(SED) 's|^\(GLIB_MKENUMS\)=.*|\1=$(STAGING_DIR_HOSTPKG)/bin/glib-mkenums|'
\
        $(PKG_BUILD_DIR)/configure.ac
    $(SED) 's|^\(GDBUS_CODEGEN\)=.*|\1=$(STAGING_DIR_HOSTPKG)/bin/gdbus-codegen|'
\
        $(PKG_BUILD_DIR)/configure.ac

Why are those lines in the Makefile? This looks like a hack to
workaround some build system error. Are we not using the correct
glib-mkenums or gdbus-codegen from staging if those lines are removed?

Both libmbim and libqmi also use glib-mkenums, and they don't have those lines.
