In some circumstances, like semanage-store being on overlayfs, rename() could fail with EXDEV - Invalid cross-device link. This is due to the fact that overlays doesn't support rename() if source and target are not on the same layer, e.g. in containers built from several layers. Even though it's not atomic operation, it's better to try to copy files from src to dst on our own in this case. Next rebuild will probably not fail as the new directories will be on the same layer.
