I was just trying to correct above statement.
To keep code under c99, perhaps like this ?

#include <fenv.h>
#ifdef FE_PC53_ENV
fesetenv(FE_PC53_ENV);
#elif LUA_SET_53BITS       /* user defined way */
LUA_SET_53BITS;
#else                                    /* do nothing */
#warning Lua is compiled with default rounding precision
#endif
