Thanks for catching this. A new patch, that also provides a simple
configure.in, is available at

http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/attachment/wiki/vim/vim72-lua-0.2.patch.gz

I have a question. The standalone Lua interpreter is usually linked to a
static library, but the linker gets a -E option to export all symbols and so
dynamic modules get supported. Should I add a check for gcc and add -Wl,-E?
That would export all symbols in Vim, and so it doesn't sound like a good
idea... I could also link to a shared Lua library as default. What do you guys
think?

Cheers,
Luis.
