As of OpenBSD 3.4 (November 2003) this one is unnecessary.  (So is
prefixing underscores to dynamic library routines, a topic dealt with
on the luacheia list.)  I haven't had any trouble with shared libs on
OpenBSD since I upgraded; I don't have to tweak the Lua source at all
to work with them; it was never Lua's problem anyway; I apologize for
not saying so sooner.
