[5.1.4] Do I need those shared libraries?

[Gilles Ganault <gilles.ganault@...>]

Hello

In order to save space on a Linux appliance, I'd like to check if I
really need those shared libraries when compiling the Lua interpreter:

-lm -ldl -lreadline -lhistory -lncurses

What would I be missing by not including those?

Thank you.
