Trace selection is probabilistic and memory layout influences the
algorithm. The key problem is the innermost loop with a low, but
non-constant iteration count (from the compilers perspective).
Sometimes it gets unrolled, sometimes not, depending on what's
compiled first.
Anyway, I'm sure there are plenty of examples for FFI vector and
array classes out there, that don't suffer from this problem. E.g.
properly unrolled arithmetic metamethods, no 1-based indexing,
structs instead of tables as wrappers, bounds checks dynamically
compiled only for debugging, etc.

On x64, -DLUAJIT_CPU_SSE2 is pointless. And -fPIC is not useful.
The shared library is compiled with -fPIC, anyway.
