+<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.
