That’s how I compile Lua because it makes for a smaller binary that’s 
easier to build.  My personal fork of Lua includes a limited version of 
luafilesystem (lfs), without timestamps (to avoid Y2038 problems) or 
Unix-specific file information, as well as a variant of the bit32 lib 
(because there are *a lot* of places where bit operations make sense, 
and bit32 is the closest thing we have to a generally used bit operation 
interface in a world where LuaJIT and other non-PUC implementations of 
Lua are still at Lua 5.1 + some form of 32-bit op library).
