stderred hooks on write() and a family of stream functions (fwrite, fprintf, error...) from libc in order to colorize all stderr output that goest to terminal, thus making it distinguishable from stdout. Basically it wraps text that goes to file with descriptor "2" with proper ANSI escape codes making text red.

It's implemented as a shared library and doesn't require recompilation of existing binaries thanks to preload/insert feature of dynamic linkers.

Why do you patch CMakeLists.txt while you override the build so cmake is not used? The upstream installation is preferred. You should also not use GH_COMMIT, it's deprecated.
