The Lua core should be easy to port. It depends very little on the
C runtime library. See

The standard Lua libraries depend more heavily on the C standard library,
but for an embedded device you'll probably have to write your own Lua
libraries anyway.

Just try to compile the Lua core in your embedded platform and post any
problems you have here.
