So why not run the script as part of make rather then store generated files in
repository?

The below won't run on POSIX-compatible sh. Address my comments
below to fix that.

How about names that mean something?
KCONFIG=...
MAKEFILE=...

Slashes at end of lines are not necessary here.

Use:
cat > $KCFG <<EOF
...
EOF
through the file (of course, in next runs you'll need to use “>> $KCFG”).
More readable and also “-e” argument to echo is bash-specific.
Alternatively to using “> $KCFG” all the time, you can also do:
exec 3> Kconfig.debug.optim
exec 4> Makefile.optim.inc
at the beginning of the script and later use >&3 and >&4, which will save
you some open/close calls and make the strangely named $KCFG and $MKFI
variables no longer needed.
