[collectd] Solaris 10U4 compilation of 4.3.3

[Randy Bias]

I did not have a chance to troubleshoot all of the issues with  
building collectd, but this gave me a somewhat working version (YMMV):

make command:

make clean ; CFLAGS="-D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=199506L -D__EXTENSIONS__" ./ 
configure --prefix=/usr/local/collectd --disable-apcups --disable-csv  
--disable-mysql --disable-swap --disable-snmp; gmake -j 4

patch to collectd.h, stealing from /usr/include/firefox/dbm/mcom_db.h

Ps.  If someone wants to help make this cleaner I will provide a  
Solaris and a Nexenta box to make it build on.
