Only Paul can answer this. The OMIT_GNULIB_MODULE mechanism is an Emacs
invention.

Gnulib's mechanism for avoiding modules is the --avoid=<modulename>
option to gnulib-tool. But that omits the module on *all* platforms.
Gnulib's preferred mechanism for tweaking the behaviour on a platform-
by-platform basis is to preset some gl_cv_* variables, so as to
shortcut specific configure tests.
