Cannot compile with local LuaJIT

[MaddieM4]

I ran into this in my Fetchy branch, but I can reproduce in master, so I know it's not me.

git clone git@github.com:scoder/lupa.git
cd lupa
wget http://luajit.org/download/LuaJIT-2.0.2.tar.gz
tar xvf LuaJIT-2.0.2.tar.gz
cd LuaJIT-2.0.2/
make
cd ..
virtualenv venv
source venv/bin/activate
python setup.py install

If I've got my reproduction steps right, this should grab the latest Lupa, then the latest LuaJIT, then builds LuaJIT, creates a virtualenv, and attempts to install Lupa into that virtualenv.

The error goes like this:

I'm hoping you'll have more insight into this issue than I do.

Please do as the error message tells you and "recompile with -fPIC" in your CFLAGS.

Thanks, scoder. I feel like an idiot for burning so much time trying to
reverse-engineer the LuaJIT makefile, never thinking to try adding
"CFLAGS=-fPIC" into the make arguments. That works perfectly.
