Does your application need to load any C modules at runtime?
If not, maybe you could build your own Lua lib without it.

Something like this:

cd /path/to/lua-5.1.4/src

make clean ansi CFLAGS='-ULUA_DL_DLOPEN'

cd /path/to/your/app

cc -std=c99 -O0 -ggdb -static  -static-libgcc -o embed embed.c \
-I/usr/include/lua5.1 -L/usr/lib64  /path/to/lua-5.1.4/src/liblua.a -lm -lc

(Note that I removed -llua5.1 and -ldl from the compiler command)
