I think make will not rebuild the feta*.afm files unless you do a 

>> rm mf/out/feta*
before
>> make 
>> make install

However, I'm confused by the error message.
It complains about the feta13.tfm file in /var/tmp/@7844.1ly2dvi/,
which looks as the temporary working directory for the ly2dvi run.
I don't understand why the .tfm file was generated there, it should
appear below the directory given by 
kpsexpand '$VARTEXFONTS'
