+Setting the `STD_CDEFINES` environment variable before running `configure`
+can be used to enable certain compile-time options that are not explicitly
+defined in `configure`.
+
+Some of these settings are:
+
+|Setting |Description |
+|-----------------------------------|----------------------------------------|
+|`-DISC_MEM_DEFAULTFILL=1`|Overwrite memory with tag values when allocating or freeing it; this impairs performance but makes debugging of memory problems easier.|
+|`-DISC_MEM_TRACKLINES=0`|Don't track memory allocations by file and line number; this improves performance but makes debugging more difficult.|
+|<nobr>`-DISC_FACILITY=LOG_LOCAL0`</nobr>|Change the default syslog facility for `named`|
+|`-DNS_CLIENT_DROPPORT=0`|Disable dropping queries from particular well-known ports:|
+|`-DCHECK_SIBLING=0`|Don't check sibling glue in `named-checkzone`|
+|`-DCHECK_LOCAL=0`|Don't check out-of-zone addresses in `named-checkzone`|
+|`-DNS_RUN_PID_DIR=0`|Create default PID files in `${localstatedir}/run` rather than `${localstatedir}/run/named/`|
+|`-DISC_BUFFER_USEINLINE=0`|Disable the use of inline functions to implement the `isc_buffer` API: this reduces performance but may be useful when debugging |
+|`-DISC_HEAP_CHECK`|Test heap consistency after every heap operation; used when debugging|
