GNU mv declares an external variable "nargs".  This conflicts with the
BSD libc.a routine nargs().  This routine is undocumented, but clearly
intended for users, since it is not used by any libc routine.  It's of
questionable value and represents bad programming style to USE
nargs(), but it's there, and conflicts with the variable in mv.c
Solution:  declare the variable static or change its name in mv.c
