No good reason.  I would guess that we started off with something like

COMPATIBLE_MACHINE = "pdp11/(23|34)"

in a recipe, and that got somehow generalised to wrapping all the
alternatives in parens even where not required.  I imagine most/all of
those parens can just be removed.

No objection, I'm quite happy with the UBOOT_MACHINE thing here.
