Description:

-DLUAJIT_ENABLE_LUA52COMPAT adds extra features from lua52.

Although LuaJIT doc[1] suggests that some things might be broken, but:
* Fedora thinks this should not break anything and enable by default.[2]
* Gentoo thinks this is unlikely to break existing code and has a flag to enable.[3]

Enabling this would help packages like howl[4] to use system luajit instead of vendoring. Please consider. Thanks.

A patch is attached.
