In HHL 2.0 we do this:
ifdef CONFIG_KGDB
CFLAGS += -g
ifdef CONFIG_KGDB_MORE
  # Use sed to remove the quotes.
  CFLAGS += $(shell echo $(CONFIG_KGDB_OPTIONS) | sed -e 's/"//g')
endif
endif

And then have a question like:
   bool 'Add any additional compile options' CONFIG_KGDB_MORE
      if [ "$CONFIG_KGDB_MORE" = "y" ]; then
           string 'Additional compile arguments' CONFIG_KGDB_OPTIONS "-O1 -ggdb"
      fi

I was never sure if this was something that just worked but looked ugly, or
if it was actually useful..
