<userinput>patch -Np1 -i ../gcc-3.0.patch:</userinput> This patch
-changes the compilation options so that the make only fails on the
-second error, not the first. This is required for the static build not
-to fail.
+changes all instances of re_max_failures to re_max_failures2.
+re_max_failures is a variable used within Glibc and with static
+compiling this variable sometimes clashes between the package's
+re_max_failures and the same variable in glibc. By renaming
+re_max_failures in the package to re_max_failures2 we just tell the
+package to use the second variable so that glibc won't be in the way.
