Wow! A big change done with so little code. Kudos!
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?

As a matter of style, I prefer to write
sed -e "$convert_to_gnu_make" "$tmp"/amsnippet1
as it conveys the information which argument has which role, and as
the -e option is mandatory anyway when you use sed inside a pipe.
