    make: avoid problems with mv aliases
    
    Make fails to update .xcompile in case there is an mv alias preventing
    silent overwrites of existing files. To avoid ambiguity, invoke mv
    from standard location.
    
    While we are at it, also simplify the rule for .xcompile generation:
    there is no really need to create a special temporary file, using a
    file name extension works just fine in this case.
    
    There is also no need to use shell '&&' operator - make is intelligent
    enough to stop building on the first encountered error.
    
    Tested by touching util/xcompile/xcompile and/or running 'make
    oldconfig' a few times. .xcompile gets properly regenerated when
    required.
