Ah, I misread this. It's stripping the quotes, not adding them:
_sym_flags = -DSYMBOL_PREFIX=$(patsubst "%",%,$(CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX))

Yes, let's clear it up once and for all. Does this work?
CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX: cleanup.
We have CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX, which three archs define to the string
"_". But Al Viro broke this in "consolidate cond_syscall and
SYSCALL_ALIAS declarations", and he's not the first to do so.
Using CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX is awkward, since we usually just want to
prefix it so something. So various places define helpers which are
defined to nothing if CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX isn't set:
1) include/asm-generic/unistd.h defines __SYMBOL_PREFIX.
2) include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h defines VMLINUX_SYMBOL(sym)
3) include/linux/export.h defines MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX.
4) include/linux/kernel.h defines SYMBOL_PREFIX (which differs from #7)
5) kernel/modsign_certificate.S defines ASM_SYMBOL(sym)
6) scripts/modpost.c defines MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX
7) scripts/Makefile.lib defines SYMBOL_PREFIX on the commandline if
CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX is set, so that we have a non-string version
for pasting.
(arch/h8300/include/asm/linkage.h defines SYMBOL_NAME(), too).
Let's solve this properly:
1) No more generic prefix, just CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX_UNDERSCORE.
2) Make linux/export.h usable from asm.
3) Define VMLINUX_SYMBOL, VMLINUX_SYMBOL_NAME and VMLINUX_SYMBOL_PREFIX_STR.
4) Make everyone use them.
