The kernel is built inside the chroot, so all paths are really
/app/release/<whatever>. Your symlink points to
/app/release/root/kernels/MYKERNEL. It will be easiest to get rid of
the symlink and copy the actual file into your EXTSRCDIR before
starting the make release; alternately you could use the LOCAL_PATCHES
or LOCAL_SCRIPT variables to import it.
