ACK.

Yes. With per-package folder, we are preparing the target and host
(including staging) folders with the package dependencies during the
configure step. It is what we copy that contains references to other
per-package folders that should be fixed up before the build. Hence,
this needs to be done during the configure step.

Perhaps I should include this logic inside a BR2_PER_PACKAGE_FOLDERS
condition.

Best regards,
