Do we need to revisit the Makefile.am section of all modules/* files? Are there anti-patterns that should not be used in modules files when a module should be usable with GNU Make instead of Automake?
Anything that uses an Automake-specific feature other than "if FOO / else / endif" would be suspect, yes. For example, I suppose there would be trouble if a module uses the Automake syntax "if FOO / else !FOO / endif !FOO". Although this particular feature should be easy for gnulib-tool to support, I imagine other Automake features wouldn't be.
I didn't look for problems systematically; I looked only in the modules that Emacs uses, none of which had problems (which is a good sign...).
