Sadly nothing has changed in this area, i.e. the makefile generator is
now another six years overdue for a major overhaul.

If you really need to do something like this, it is possible but not
easy. You can invoke a Tcl script from inside a custom build step,
along similar lines to the memalloc package. That Tcl script can read
in install/include/pkgconf/ecos.mak and anything else in pkgconf/ that
contains relevant options, e.g. your CYGBLD_GLOBAL_EXTRAS_LDFLAGS. It
can then exec the linker with the appropriate options.
