Subject: mv is broken?

My way of making a TAGS file without going through too much detail is
this:

    TAGS: force
	    -mkdir temp
	    -mv cplus-tab.c cexp.c c-*.c *.y insn-*.[ch] gen*.c temp
	    etags *.h *.c
	    mv temp/* .
	    rmdir temp

It is defeated by GNU mv:

    tiemann@apple-gunkies>make TAGS
    mkdir temp
    mv cplus-tab.c cexp.c c-*.c *.y insn-*.[ch] gen*.c temp
    mv: cannot stat `cexp.c', not moved: No such file or directory
    mv: cannot stat `c-*.c', not moved: No such file or directory
    etags *.h *.c
    mv temp/* .

This was unexpected.
