No, the symlink is still an absolute path. It needes to be relative:

+       ln -s /boot/vmlinuz-$(FULLVERSION) \
+           $(INSTALL_DIR)/boot/vmlinuz-$(EXTRAVERSION)

becomes

+       ln -s vmlinuz-$(FULLVERSION) \
+           $(INSTALL_DIR)/boot/vmlinuz-$(EXTRAVERSION)

(A hardlink would certainly not work, because /boot may be on a
different filesystem than $(INSTALL_DIR)/boot.)
