Here is the makefile I wrote to build a static library (liblfs.a) as you 
sugested :

all: lfs.o compat-5.1.o lib

lfs.o : lfs.c
       gcc -Os -Wall -c lfs.c -o lfs.o

compat-5.1.o : compat-5.1.c
       gcc -Os -Wall -c compat-5.1.c -o compat-5.1.o

lib : lfs.o compat-5.1.o
       ar rcu lfslib.a lfs.o compat-5.1.o
       ranlib lfslib.a

clean :
       rm -f lfs.o compat-5.1.o liblfs.a


Is that ok?

Do I only have to add my newly created liblfs.a to the objects when 
linking the launcher?

I've no idea of how to add luaopen_lfs in 'package.preload'... it sounds 
like chinese to me :-(



Enough for me today... See you tomorow!

Thanks again,
