It seems to me that this is a bug in glibc headers because Lua never
defines itself as a POSIX program, not even when LUA_USE_POSIX is on.
I assume that "make ansi" will work fine.

Of course, the easiest fix is to change the Lua code to avoid this name,
but it does seems silly.

Thanks for the report.
