Wouldn't it be simpler to drop a level of indirection here?

I think it would complicate things, because the handling of original hooks 
(load, unload)
has been implemented as a pointer to an array of pointers (because of the 
multiple hooks requirement).

I did not want to introduce a distinction between pointers to multiple hooks 
and single hooks for simplicity
(all the hooks are arrays of pointers, even if there is only a single hook).

I believe that makes the whole code a bit more consistent and potentially 
re-usable.

OK, fair enough.
