Well, it's pretty much the same story as with glib-genmarshal, perhaps
not as commonly used though. glib-mkenums is a code-generation tool that
glib installs and that applications and libraries using glib may use in
their Makefiles. The AM_PATH_GLIB_2_0() macro uses pkg-config to find
out where glib has installed it and defines the GLIB_MKENUMS variable
pointing to the binary. There is also gobject-query, which is probably
even less commonly used.

So yes, I think there should be a HOST_GLIB_MKENUMS variable and I think
that LIBGLIB2_HOST_BINARY should be rather be named
HOST_GLIB_GENMARSHAL.
