I would start by splitting the value of &efm to separate statements. This should place the expressions inside 'efm' below the first line, each on a separate line:
call append(1, split(&efm, '\v\\@<!%(\\\\)*\zs,'))

I already posted a fix on vim-dev a while ago but Bram hasn't been sending out any official patches for some time.
To prevent problems caused by line wrapping I tried breaking this into separate statements. Hope I didn't break anything:
set efm=[%\d%\+%\%.%\d%\+]%\ %f:%l%m
set efm+=%*[^"]"%f"%*\D%l: %m
set efm+="%f"%*\D%l: %m
set efm+=%-G%f:%l: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
set efm+=%-G%f:%l: for each function it appears in.)
set efm+=%-GIn file included from %f:%l:%c:
set efm+=%-GIn file included from %f:%l:%c\,
set efm+=%-GIn file included from %f:%l:%c
set efm+=%-GIn file included from %f:%l
set efm+=%-G%*[ ]from %f:%l:%c
set efm+=%-G%*[ ]from %f:%l:
set efm+=%-G%*[ ]from %f:%l\,
set efm+=%-G%*[ ]from %f:%l
set efm+=%f:%l:%c:%m
set efm+=%f(%l):%m
set efm+=%f:%l:%m
set efm+="%f"\, line %l%*\D%c%*[^ ] %m
set efm+=%D%*\a[%*\d]: Entering directory %*[`']%f'
set efm+=%X%*\a[%*\d]: Leaving directory %*[`']%f'
set efm+=%D%*\a: Entering directory %*[`']%f'
set efm+=%X%*\a: Leaving directory %*[`']%f'
set efm+=%DMaking %*\a in %f
set efm+=%f|%l| %m
set efm+=#%\d%\+%\s%\+%m(%.%\+%\ at%\ %f:%l
set efm+=#%\d%\+%\s%\+0x%\x%\+%\ in%\ %m(%.%\+%\ at%\ %f:%l

Obviously, look at the lines containing "Entering directory" and "Leaving directory".

HTH,
Lech
