Agree.

Maybe that works for MinGW on Windows. But MinGW also comes as a
cross-compiler (e.g. for Linux), so it's still required:

mingw:
	$(MAKE) "LUA_A=lua51.dll" "LUA_T=lua.exe" \
	"AR=$(CC) -shared -o" "RANLIB=strip --strip-unneeded" \
	"MYCFLAGS=-DLUA_BUILD_AS_DLL" "MYLIBS=" "MYLDFLAGS=-s" lua.exe
	$(MAKE) "LUAC_T=luac.exe" luac.exe

$ size *.exe *.dll
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
  23000    3672     288   26960    6950 lua.exe
 193286    3128     320  196734   3007e luac.exe
 275222    4784     320  280326   44706 lua51.dll
$ objdump -x lua.exe | grep lua51
        DLL Name: lua51.dll
$ objdump -x luac.exe | grep lua51
$ wine luac.exe -l - </dev/null

main <stdin:0,0> (1 instruction, 4 bytes at 7FD38138)
0+ params, 2 slots, 0 upvalues, 0 locals, 0 constants, 0 functions
        1       [1]     RETURN          0 1

So lua.exe is dynamically linked to lua51.dll and luac.exe is
statically linked (and -l works).

Bye,
