<para><userinput>CPPFLAGS=-Dre_max_failures=re_max_failures2:</userinput> The
CPPFLAGS variable is a variable that's read by the cpp program (C
PreProcessor). The value of this variable tells the preprocessor to
replace every instance of re_max_failures it finds by re_max_failures2
before handing the source file to the compiler itself for compilation. This
package has problems linking statically on certain platforms (depending
on the Glibc version used on that system) and this construction fixes
that problem.</para>
