This patch modifies mv.c so it does not abort with error() from glibc none

Description Igor V. Kovalenko 2002-12-10 02:54:39 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020809

Description of problem:
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.

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. cd /tmp
2. mkdir mvtestdir
3. touch a b d e g h
4. mv a b c d e f g h mvtestdir
5. ls mvtestdir

Actual Results:  [/tmp]$ mv a b c d e f g h mvtestdir/
/tmp/mv: can't stat source c
[/tmp]$ ls mvtestdir 
a  b


Expected Results:  [/tmp]$ mv a b c d e f g h mvtestdir/
mv: can't stat source c
mv: can't stat source f
[/tmp]$ ls mvtestdir
a  b  d  e  g  h
