Debian built Lua 5.1.3 on mips, sparc and powerpc (and 5.1.4 on sparc
and powerpc).  A "hello, world" program is run during the build
process, so at a very simple level, the compiled binary works.

You should try to attach a debugger and obtain a backtrace.  If this
is difficult, you could try to reproduce the issue in a more complete,
but ABI-compatible test environment.
