The Lua 5.3 core depends only on these standard C functions:

abort abs floor fmod frexp localeconv longjmp memcmp memcpy pow setjmp
snprintf strchr strcmp strcoll strcpy strlen strpbrk strspn strtod
time

Most of these can be written directly in C if needed. Some are hard:
frexp. Some are impossible: longjmp, setjmp. Some are controlled via
luaconf.h and l_mathop: floor, food frexp, localeconv, pow, snprintf.

In other words, changing the dependency of the Lua core on libc can be
mostly done by editing  luaconf.h, as expected.
