Well, something went royally wrong there. LuaJIT compiles with
zero warnings with the Windows SDK (which contains just the
command line compiler from Visual Studio).

First, it looks like a 32 bit build (which is probably not what
you want). And other errors look like builtins are disabled, but
some extra warnings are enabled and so on. Really strange. Maybe
the environment variables are not properly set up. Or are you
trying to do a managed C++ build (that's not going to work)?

I don't have VS2010, so I can't say much about it. But it ought to
work (it certainly does with VS2008). Maybe try to install the
Windows SDK (it's free)?
