Naeh, bad practice, and would not work at non-GNU-utils systems
anyway. (Think about your average SysV machine..)

I do:

install ... /path/to/target.x && mv /path/to/target.x /path/to/target

which happens to work at all systems I have used.
Similarly at object linkage I use target name with .x suffix,
and then " && mv NN.x NN".
