Hi,
I was able to build LuaJIT 2.0.0 on my iBook G4 running OS X 10.5.8, there
are two issues:
1. OS X comes with gcc 4.0.1 (default) and 4.2.1, but 4.3+ is required by
LuaJIT for ppc. I commented out the #error.
2. Calling FFI C functions seems to crash:
(gdb) run
Starting program: /Users/anders/LuaJIT-2.0.0/src/luajit
Reading symbols for shared libraries ++. done

hi
Program received signal EXC_BAD_ACCESS, Could not access memory.
Reason: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE at address: 0x0000810c
0x000080c8 in main ()
(gdb)
I understand LuaJIT on PowerPC OS X may not be a priority, I just wanted to
let you know that it almost works.
