commit df564c4 [kernel: Use hardlinks for do_populate_sysroot for speed] does indeed speed up the build, but it also means that the KERNEL_OUPUT and KERNEL_IMAGETYPE may be hardlinks.
If they are hardlinks, install complains that they are actually the same file and stops the build. We can easily test and avoid the copy if the file is already in place.
