Thank you.
That was exactly what I meant.
I was not aware of the fact that ad hoc recipes are able
to customize other operations apart from 'update'.
Next time I will read more carefully in the documentation.

I was now able to completely remove the Makefile dependency.
If you or someone else might be interested in an example
which explains how to create a Python wrapper library/module/package
for some C++ library by using build2 and Pybind11
then you may have a look at [1].
I have updated the code and added some comments to explain everything.
