At least on RH systems, /bin/mv won't work if /lib is missing as it's
dynamicly linked to various things in /lib
i.e.
ldd /bin/mv
linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000)
libacl.so.1 => /lib/libacl.so.1 (0x49712000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0x41a2f000)
libattr.so.1 => /lib/libattr.so.1 (0x41b6a000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x41a17000)

I don't know if other distributions are as agressively dynamic linked
as RH systems appear to be, but I suspect this is common.
It's rescue CD time.
The only thing I can think of that would make the system work with out
a rescue disk would be to some how append the current path to the
'moved' library files to /etc/ld.so.conf and run ldconfig, so the
dynamic linker can find the libraries again, but /bin/cat is dynamicly
linked as well so appending anything may be itself a challenge and I
have a vague idea that the ld.so.conf path searching is actually done by
/lib/ld-linux.so anyway...
