Welp, that didn't go spectacularly. All the OpenSuSE SLES 11 downloads are
RPM, both source and compiled. Non-relocatable. I did attempt to rebuild, but
it choked on the following dependencies:
audit-devel is needed by bash-4.3-286.1.x86_64
fdupes is needed by bash-4.3-286.1.x86_64
patchutils is needed by bash-4.3-286.1.x86_64
If I can find a repository for them I can throw that into Zypper, but thus far
I've failed. Anyone out there have any suggestions?

Thanks for the head's up on that bug, it looks like we'll be doing some script
editing either way. I think 1 is the most popular with the team at this point,
but I'll take the temperature and see how people feel.

Both bash 4 and SLES 11 are more than nine years old. Upgrades are
definitely recommended.
The option that might be fastest is the second one you've presented --
changing anything in the scripts that requires bash 4 so it's compatible
with bash 3. If you're comfortable with modifying a shell script in
this way, this is a good option.
The first option is probably a little bit safer -- install bash 4, and
make sure that this is the version used when installing and when
starting Solr. That could be a PATH adjustment, or changing the shebang
in each script.
There is another issue you're going to need to deal with on SLES. A fix
for this issue has not been committed to the source repository:
