Nitpick: I prefer we "coalesce" the *_HOOKS lines directly below the
define, and add an empty line _fater_ the *_HOOKS (not before liek you
did), like:

    define GPM_RUN_AUTOGEN
        cd $(@D) && PATH=$(HOST_PATH) ./autogen.sh
    endef
    GPM_POST_PATCH_HOOKS += GPM_RUN_AUTOGEN

    GPM_DEPENDENCIES += host-automake host-autoconf host-libtool

It looks more natural to me, otherwise one has to train his eyes to spot
the _HOOKS line.

Besides, in your case, the _HOOKS line is directly tied to another
assignment, which makes it look like they belong to the same 'semantic'
block, so the brain (mine, at least!) automatically skips over it,
desparately looking for the _HOOKS line later in the file... Yes, I'm a
bizare guy, but yet... ;-)

Ditto, remove this empty line

Ditto again.

Anyway, if Peter likes it that way, I won't object much! ;-)
