Those should be fine. You get these if you compile MonetDB in the source directory itself (note that the installation instructions recommend to use an empty directory to compile MonetDB).
If top_srcdir == top_builddir then the lines
include $(top_srcdir)/*.mk include $(top_builddir)/*.mk
in all Makefiles will include all the *.mk files twice, hence the warning.
For developers: That is actually one reason why I'd suggest to replace those wildcards by actual filenames. If we know it is $(top_srcdir)/rules.mk and $(top_builddir)/rpm.mk we could directly use those filenames and the warnings would vanish.
