I use the mode hook for the language I'm editing. Here's a snippet of
my C mode hook:

(defun sal-c-mode-hook ()
  (setq c-style-variables-are-local-p t)
  (c-set-style "gnu")

  (cond

   ((let ((case-fold-search nil))
      (or (string-match "gcc" default-directory)
          (string-match "binutils" default-directory)))
    ;; We are editing GNU code, so do _not_ use
    ;; sal-clean-buffer; GNU code has tabs in it.
    )

   (t
    ;; use sal-clean-buffer, and require a project file

    ;; non-style stuff
    (add-hook 'local-write-file-hooks 'sal-clean-buffer)
    (add-hook (make-local-hook 'ff-pre-find-hooks) 'c-require-project-file nil 
t)
    )

    (set (make-variable-buffer-local 'ff-other-file-alist) 'c-other-file-alist)
    (else-mode)
   )) ;; end cond, defun

(add-hook 'c-mode-hook 'sal-c-mode-hook)


The form (string-match "gcc" default-directory") tests to see if I'm
in a directory with "gcc" anywhere in the path.

I put search paths and such in the "project file"; I've adapted the
Ada mode project files for C.

Have fun!
