Like it says, these tests are known to fail on 10.2 and earlier. If you plan to use DB databases, it's probably worth it to grab an updated set of libraries from www.SleepCat.com and install them. Otherwise I wouldn't worry about it.
It says I can ignore those, so I did a make install and got
... Making Errno (nonxs) make[1]: [extras.make] Error 1 (ignored)
That's normal. What's happening here is, there are two versions of the Errno module - one is pure Perl (nonxs), and the other uses a compiled C (XS) component. On most systems, the XS version is used, so the nonxs version isn't built. This error is then reported on the install phase because the nonxs version doesn't exist.
WARNING: You've never run 'make test' or some tests failed! (Installing anyway.)
which worried me a little.
No worries there. You'll get that message unless 100% of the self-tests pass. Even the known (and harmless) failures in DB will trigger it.
