LuaJIT 2 and the creation of object files/executables

[Joshua Jensen <jjensen@...>]

For consoles such as Xbox 360, it is not possible to emit instructions 
on the fly and pass certification to ship the game.  Ignoring the fact 
that the Xbox 360 is PowerPC-based and therefore incompatible with 
LuaJIT in its current form, could the code generator be tailored to 
generate a linkable .obj file with a translation of the Lua code to 
native instructions?

For LuaJIT in its current form, is it a possibility to generate a 
linkable x86 .obj file or an executable from a Lua script?  I have used 
Lua heavily within a build system, with Lua scripts (often the same) 
being called hundreds of times from different build processes.  Having a 
native x86 version of the script could save a great deal of time over 
hundreds of invocations.

Thanks.
