Sorry for the delay, I was out of town.

patch applies cleanly.

fails, I don't have automake-1.11 or autoconf-2.65.

I don't appear to have this in the tarball.
I cloned the git and switched to sh/4.8
% git branch
* master
  origin
  sh/collectd-4.6
  sh/collectd-4.7
  sh/collectd-4.8
  sh/collectd-4.9
  sh/next

% git checkout sh/collectd-4.8

and copied build.sh, version-gen.sh to where I am building.

Unfortunately this fails, it appears version-gen.sh is expecting 'git'
to be available
and I don't have it installed on the solaris box, plus it wants
autoconf-2.58 or higher.

I suspect I'll need you to generate a new configure script for me.

Cheers
