--with-version=<major>.<minor>.<bugfix>-<nrev>-g<gid>
Use the specified version string rather than trying to generate one (if in
a git repository) or use existing the VERSION file (if present).
--with-version=(<major>.<minor>.<bugfix>-<nrev>-g<gid>|VERSION)
The VERSION file is mandatory for successful configuration, and the
following steps are taken to assure its presence:
1) If --with-version=<major>.<minor>.<bugfix>-<nrev>-g<gid> is specified,
generate VERSION using the specified value.
2) If --with-version is not specified in either form and the source
directory is inside a git repository, try to generate VERSION via 'git
describe' invocations that pattern-match release tags.
3) If VERSION is missing, generate it with a bogus version:
0.0.0-0-g0000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Note that --with-version=VERSION bypasses (1) and (2), which simplifies
VERSION configuration when embedding a jemalloc release into another
project's git repository.
--with-rpath=<colon-separated-rpath>
Embed one or more library paths, so that libjemalloc can find the libraries
