True...  Here's a "nicer" version, that even gets empty defines right.  I've 
checked that gcc is smart enough to compile away the constant string 
comparison.  The only thing wrong with this now is that it'll fail to get
#define CONFIG_BLAH	CONFIG_BLAH
correct, but that's a rather silly corner case.

#include <stdio.h>

#define CONFIG_FOO	1
/* #define CONFIG_BAR	1 */
#define CONFIG_BAZ

#define STR2(x) #x
#define STR(x) STR2(x)

#define PASTE(x, y) x##y

#define KCONFIG(x) \
	(__builtin_strcmp("Z" STR(PASTE(CONFIG_, x)), "ZCONFIG_" #x))

int main()
{
	if (KCONFIG(FOO)) printf("FOO\n");
	if (KCONFIG(BAR)) printf("BAR\n");
	if (KCONFIG(BAZ)) printf("BAZ\n");
	
	return 0;
}
