I don't think so.

As far as I can see, we're doing:

    # Argument 1 is the source location
    # Argument 2 is the local filename, optional [...]
    define DOWNLOAD
        $(call DOWNLOAD_INNER,$(1),$(if $(2),$(2),$(notdir $(1))))
    endef

So, we have two cases:
  - upstream and local filenames differ: the second argument is the
    local filename
  - upstream and local filenames are the same: the second argument is
    empty, and defaults to the upstream filename

So, we always end up calling DOWNLOAD_INNER with the local filename as
second argument. Then,

    define DOWNLOAD_INNER
        [...]
        if test -n "$(call qstrip,$(BR2_BACKUP_SITE))" ; then \
            $(call $(DL_MODE)_WGET,$(BR2_BACKUP_SITE)/$(2),$(2)) && exit ; \
        fi ; \
        [...]
    endef

So, we're fetching $(2) from the backup site. And $(2) is the local
filename.

Ergo, the fallback site case is covered. :-)

Pfeww, you made me doubt for a moment, and I was afraid I'd have to
rework the whole series entirely. Not the case, Hehe! ;-p

Yann E. MORIN.
