Wouldn't using continuation lines work just as well?

-IMPORTED_GNULIB_MODULES="fnmatch-gnu frexpl inttypes memmem update-copyright unistd pathmax"
+IMPORTED_GNULIB_MODULES="\
+  fnmatch-gnu \
+  frexpl \
+  inttypes \
+  memmem \
+  update-copyright \
+  unistd \
+  pathmax \
+"

I'd find that a lot less distracting, therefore more readable.
