building libee, libestr, and liblognorm I was unable to run autoreconf -fvi

I did a quick google search and found someone who recommended adding a line
to configure.ac to define it

m4_ifndef([AM_SILENT_RULES], [m4_define([AM_SILENT_RULES],[])])

this seems to work.

rsyslog already contains

m4_ifdef([AM_SILENT_RULES], [AM_SILENT_RULES([yes])])

which should take care of that.
Or was that failure non in rsyslog?

the failures were in libee, libestr, and liblognorm

An alternative idea would be to just bump the minimum required version
of automake to 1.11.

for such a simple 'fix', I think it's better to add the ifndef rather than require a newer automake

Given that security support ended for Debian 5, you should upgrade anyway :-)

I will, but such an upgrade takes time.
