I haven't tried it with Lua 5.3, but I have run across this a lot lately 
when linking precompiled C libraries from other Visual Studio compiler 
versions, especially Visual Studio 2010, into a Visual Studio 2015 project.

In my case, the solution has been to recompile the given 
library-formerly-generated-with-Visual-Studio-2010 with Visual Studio 
2015 instead.

In Lua's case, I imagine people with this issue are trying to link a Lua 
static library generated from another Visual Studio (maybe MinGW?) into 
their application. I wouldn't think linking a Lua DLL import library 
would be a problem, though, but I haven't dealt with this issue 
specifically.
