I routinely build on ARM as well as for linux and linux-mingw32
and only use the supplied makefile as a guide.

For embedded applications, I sometimes need to compile different source
modules with different options, so the supplied makefiles don't always
work for me anyways.

I guess that I'm saying any changes made in the standard makefiles
don't really affect my build system for Lua...
