Lua static battery

This is a script to build a static version of lua, using gcc and the musl C library. The toolchain are downloaded from musl.cc. Some usefull libraries are included too.

The script can build linux, windows and mac binaries. Linux binaries are built for both x86 (natively) and arm with hard float (through cross-compile). Windows binaries are built through cross-compile from linux. The mac binaries are built with a default LLVM toolchain, without musl.

In Release page you can fine the output binaries for all the supporterd platforms.
