ugh, that would kill the idea - having the strings and additional
runtime checks would not be good. Maybe if we check with
__builtin_constant_p() and do the simpler expansion if it's not
constant?

indeed, but I guess that would be fixable by checking (s[0] == '0' && s[1] == '\0')?
However, it seems kconfig doesn't support setting int options to hex or
octal.

If I try an hex value in menuconfig it says "You have made an invalid entry."
If I try editing .config or setting via scripts/config --set-val, it
just gets reset when trying to generate include/generated/autoconf.h
