Problem installing coreutils-5.2.1 over the same prefix

[DervishD]

    Hi all :)

    I've downloaded and installed coreutils-5.2.1 and the 'make
install-strip' command fails when installing 'mv', since old /bin/mv
(I install my coreutils in prefix '/') is removed by
'config/install-sh' when it is still needed.

    I install coreutils with:

    ./configure --with-gnu-ld --disable-nls --disable-rpath \
                --disable-assert --prefix=/ --infodir=/usr/info \
                --mandir=/tmp
    make
    make install-strip

    If I have another copy of 'mv' in the $PATH, in a different
directory than the prefix, installation works ok. What am I doing
wrong? Is installing over the same prefix not supported? Could be
installation of 'mv' made a special case?

    Thanks a lot in advance :)
