Well, I went and looked in the manual again, and sure enough, there it is
buried at the bottom of the "makeoptions" descriptions on page 7.  The
CPU type paragraph seems to imply that the quotes are required.

OK, so I didn't rtfm well enough.  I still think there is no reason
why config should not be able to deal with numerics without having to 
quote them.  I'm going to leave my 'fix' installed.
