Ah, yes, got it.

Or, better, make sure that DL_DIR is an absolute path even if it was
defined as a relative path in the configuration. Something like
(untested):

  DL_DIR=$(call qstrip,$(BR2_DL_DIR))
  ifeq ($(DL_DIR),)
  DL_DIR:=$(TOPDIR)/dl
  endif
+ DL_DIR=$(shell readlink -f $(DL_DIR))

in package/Makefile.package.in
