Ah, OK.  It's not intended to work like that.

That's building the java bindings, and isn't really an error (as make
says, it's "ignored").  It just means the "built" subdirectory already
exists.

If there's actually a problem here, you didn't show us the right part
of make's output.

Does "make check" work?

Incidentally, if you're only interested in the PHP bindings, you can
configure with "--with-php".  If you don't specify any languages,
configure will try to build for all languages it finds suitable tools
for.
