The output is:

In order to support Gentoo Prefix the only change needed is what is mentioned here: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Prefix/Technical_Documentation#The_variables_ED_and_EROOT

Change ${D} to ${ED}.

I've tried the change and it makes the installation successful in Gentoo Prefix (amd64, over Ubuntu 16.04, but should be the same for x86 and any other base OS).

the offending mv has disappeared from the ebuild
