- <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 systems that run an older
 
- Glibc version and this construction fixes that problem.</para>
