You're right. I wasn't aware that "make" replaces backslash-newline with
a space (unlike "sh", which replaces it with nothing). I'm applying this:

        * gnulib-tool (func_get_automake_snippet): Interpret a backslash-
        newline sequence in the Makefile.am snippet as a space, like "make"
        does.
