	I think it is ok, but I don't know the option '-Os'.

	Yes, but you'll have to add code to _cgi.c.  See next paragraph.

	Open _cgi.c and search for 'add your libraries here'.  You
should add a line:

    {"lfs", luaopen_lfs},

	before the {NULL, NULL}.  This will add the library to the
launcher.  In cgi.lua (or t_cgi.lua) you'll have to comment the line

require"lfs" => --require"lfs"

	Because the library is already there and it is not registered
in package.preload.

	Look, this "how-to" is not the best way to solve the problem
but I'll need some time to do it.  I think you should try the above hints
and maybe we can add a rule to make a static version.
