The last line of the script (containing, simply, 'lauxlib.o') is
unexpected. Except for this, luavs.bat works well with the compiler
I use:

  Microsoft (R) 32-bit C/C++ Optimizing Compiler
    Version 12.00.8168 for 80x86.

Yup, with the extra '-' command switch to process stdin:

$ echo 'a=1' | src/luac.exe  -l -p -

main <stdin:0,0> (3 instructions, 12 bytes at 003248C0)
0+ params, 2 slots, 0 upvalues, 0 locals, 2 constants, 0 functions
        1       [1]     LOADK           0 -2    ; 1
        2       [1]     SETGLOBAL       0 -1    ; a
        3       [1]     RETURN          0 1
