Try to compile it directly, e.g.:

% gcc -O2 -fno-common -c -o slnudata.o slnudata.c
% gcc -O2 -fno-common -c -o slnunico.o slnunico.c
% gcc -bundle -undefined dynamic_lookup -o unicode.so slnudata.o  
slnunico.o

Here is a little Lua script that does that for you:

Attachment: lub.lua
Description: Binary data

It expects a 'lubfile' in the current directory:

Attachment: lubfile
Description: Binary data

If you define an alias to the lub.lua script, e.g.:

alias lub 'lua /Path/To/lub.lua'

You can invoke it as such:

% lub

(info) compile: 'gcc -O2 -fno-common -c -o slnudata.o slnudata.c'
(info) compile: 'gcc -O2 -fno-common -c -o slnunico.o slnunico.c'
(info) link: 'gcc -bundle -undefined dynamic_lookup -o unicode.so  
slnudata.o slnunico.o'
