Sean,

How does it mess up configure?

I can't really do anything about issues with RRDtool.  They are best
reported to the rrd-users mailing list at

http://people.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/rrdtool/mailinglists.html

If you do send email there, please cc orca-dev also.

I'll take a look at the diffs shortly.

Best,
Blair
