Metamail is simply trying to ascertain that there is no bin/metamail file or link, before it creates the new link to metamail/metamail. As make(1) says, the error code from the failed 'rm' is ignored - this is due to the Makefile specifying that this particular command is allowed to fail, because the authors are aware that there might be no bin/metamail, and are trying to remove it just in case there is.
