Dependency error building 7.4

[Daniel Richard G.]

I encountered this curious error building coreutils-7.4 on AIX 5.3:

--------8<--------
  CC     remove.o
/tmp/coreutils-7.4/build-aux/compile 
tg-gcc -std=gnu99  -I. -I/tmp/coreutils-7.4/src -I../lib  
-I/tmp/coreutils-7.4/lib 
 -D_ALL_SOURCE -D_THREAD_SAFE    -pedantic -pipe -fno-common -W -Wall

/tmp/coreutils-7.4/src/remove.c
  CCLD   mv
tg-gcc: copy.o: No such file or directory
tg-gcc: cp-hash.o: No such file or directory
gmake[1]: *** [mv] Error 1
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/coreutils-7.4.build/src'
gmake: *** [all] Error 2
-------->8--------

For some reason, the "mv" program does not seem to have a dependency on copy.o 
and cp-hash.o. If I make those two objects explicitly, and then "make mv", the 
program is built correctly. Everything else builds fine after that.

This occurs with both GNU Make and the system-native make(1).
