That is why LUA_WIN does not define it :)

LUA_USE_STRTODHEX controls lua_strx2number; luaconf.h explains the
issue:

  @@ lua_str2number converts a decimal numeric string to a number.
  @@ lua_strx2number converts an hexadecimal numeric string to a number.
  ** In C99, 'strtod' does both conversions. C89, however, has no function
  ** to convert floating hexadecimal strings to numbers. For these
  ** systems, you can leave 'lua_strx2number' undefined and Lua will
  ** provide its own implementation.
