I was not about building the whole Kodi for the host, but to have thinks
like:

    HOST_KODI_SUBDIR = tools/blabla

    define HOST_KODI_INSTALL_CMDS
        $(INSTALL) -D -m 0755 $(@D)/tools/blabla/foo $(HOST_DIR)/usr/bin/foo
    endef

    $(eval $(host-cmake-package))

I would like we avoid duplicating the infra. When we fix something in
the infra, we have to hunt down all dupes in the code...

Unless we change the infra to have the common code in variables, like:

1- outside the -inner define:

    # $(1): uppercase package name
    define CMAKE_CONFIGURE_CMD
        (mkdir -p $($(1)_BUILDDIR) && \
        cd $($(1)_BUILDDIR) && \
        rm -f CMakeCache.txt && \
        PATH=$$(BR_PATH) \
        $($(1)_CONF_ENV) $(BR2_CMAKE) $($(1)_SRCDIR) \
            -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE="$(HOST_DIR)/usr/share/buildroot/toolchainfile.cmake" \
            -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="/usr" \
            -DCMAKE_COLOR_MAKEFILE=OFF \
            -DBUILD_DOC=OFF \
            -DBUILD_DOCS=OFF \
            -DBUILD_EXAMPLE=OFF \
            -DBUILD_EXAMPLES=OFF \
            -DBUILD_TEST=OFF \
            -DBUILD_TESTS=OFF \
            -DBUILD_TESTING=OFF \
            -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=$$(if $$(BR2_STATIC_LIBS),OFF,ON) \
            $$(CMAKE_QUIET) \
            $($(1)_CONF_OPTS) \
        )
    endef

And then inside the -inner define:

    ifndef $(2)_CONFIGURE_CMDS
    define $(2)CONFIGURE_CMDS
        $$(call CMAKE_CONFIGURE_CMD,$(2))
    endef
    endif

Or something along those lines, which would allow us to re-use the
infras and be sure that we can fix them in a single location.

Of course, is it worth the effort?

Meh...
