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:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-11853
