That's indeed a good suggestion. I already noticed those hooks when I 
inspected the mkspecs files in linux-rasp-pi-g++, but yet didn't take 
the time to fully understand the concept. But it does make sense to me now.

In order to make that lean & clean, I assume it's best to also create a 
separate directory for my config in mkspecs/devices, right? So far, I 
was using the default linux-arm-gnueabi-g++.

Best,
