No compilation issue on my side, but I am not using the provided makefiles neither.

The few tests that I've had the time to run are ok too.

There is just just a small annoying thing when checking changes between versions 5.2.2 and 5.2.3: 

It seems that every source file in version 5.2.3 had its header version upgraded, even if the file's content hasn't changed in version 5.2.3.
For example, lapi.c show the following change (and only this one):
 /*
-** $Id: lapi.c,v 2.171 2013/03/16 21:10:18 roberto Exp $
+** $Id: lapi.c,v 2.171.1.1 2013/04/12 18:48:47 roberto Exp $
 ** Lua API
 ** See Copyright Notice in lua.h
 */
 
I have checked the diffs 5.2.0-->5.2.1 and 5.2.1-->5.2.2: only changed files had their header updated. Unchanged files were just ... well ... unchanged.

Is this deliberate for some mysterious reason? Or is it just a "glitch" when formalizing the release? ;-)
