 These differs from glibc ones in that
 
-1. They are not preprocessor #define:s so cannot be checked for with #ifdef RTLD_GLOBAL (dln.c in ruby does this)
+1. They are not preprocessor #define:s so cannot be checked for with `#ifdef RTLD_GLOBAL`. Termux patches this to
+   #define values for compatibility with several packages.
 2. They differ in value from glibc ones, so cannot be hardcoded in files (DLFCN.py in python does this)
-3. They are missing some values (RTLD_BINDING_MASK, RTLD_NOLOAD, ...)
