Thanks for the report.
However, next time, please be sure that you can
reproduce the error using unmodified sources.

From the looks of your patch, you are using
a modified version of coreutils-4.5.3, and
the problem lies in the changes that are
specific to your version. The latest is here:

ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-4.5.5.tar.bz2

Between stages of GCC compilation there is a file moving directive which uses predefined file list. In some configurations there are files listed but not generated by the build process.
coreutils-4.5.3 version of 'mv' stops at the first missing file. This is because 'lstat' call is failing and an 'error' from glibc-2.3.1 apparently aborts the execution. So not all existing files are moved to their new location.
Previous version of 'mv' (from fileutils- package) just skips missing files while it moves others.
