Arrgh, please do not use shell code in config.in files.  The config
language is *NOT* shell, the above will work for some parsers but not
all of them.

Documentation/kbuild/config-language.txt

Although it looks, and usually acts, like a subset of the 'sh' language,
Config Language has a restricted syntax and different semantics.

Please provide details on the problem you are seeing instead of fixes,
I am almost certain that the problem is not in config.in, it is
probably in a default config file.
