Problem solved!

It wasn't the stack --- it was more surreptitious than that...

I'm compiling in C++ mode. The definition of INT_MAX that was being seen 
was the C++ one in <climits>:

	const int INT_MAX = 0x7ffffff;

But then, luaconf was doing this:

	#if INT_MAX-20 < 32760
	#define LUAI_BITSINT	16

This of course was failing, because INT_MAX was not a macro. So 
LUAI_BITSINT was being set to 16. But then we get this:

	#define LUAI_MAXINT32	INT_MAX

This sets LUAI_MAXINT32 to 32, because INT_MAX is a valid value...

I think this is all the fault of my non-standard and highly eccentric 
libc, BTW.
