I had this same problem and fixed it by changing the line 248 of the sysdetect.lua

cd /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/share/lua/5.3/luarocks/core

vim sysdetect.lua

on the line 248 change:

File: sysdetect.lua
──────────────────────────────────────────
 248   │    local system = detect_elf_system(fd, hdr, sections)

to:

File: sysdetect.lua
──────────────────────────────────────────
 248   │    local system = "linux"
