[rsyslog] [compile] could not create Makefile

[Jean-Luc Lacroix]

You are probably right but my NAS is using rather recent versions:
sed - 4.2.1-1 - Stream editor
gawk - 3.1.8-1 - Gnu AWK interpreter

I think I will try a xcompile on my Debian box. Never did it but I will give it a try. 
Anything I should know before I do it?
