We are using libtool to configure MySQL and it can easily get you into
trouble like the above becasue, by default, all programs are linked shared
The normal way to solve this is to not move binaries directly but
first install all binaries and shared libraries to 'their proper place'
with 'make install'.
After this you can then move the installed binaries, as the incompiled
path to the shared library will work.
What binary do you want to move and why ?

Monty
