Precompiling does not imply reduction in size. Stripping debug information
helps reducing size but of course gets you less information in case of errors.
I think you'd be better off compressing instead of precompiling.
See http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/2003-05/msg00380.html and that thread.

The easiest path is to change lundump.c to handle the multiple platforms,
especially if the differences are minor. How different are your target
platforms?
