Is that a problem in the definition of AR in the mingw target or in
the rules to build the Lua library ?

The relevant target is this and it seems right if AR is actually a
library manager such as ar:

$(LUA_A): $(CORE_O) $(LIB_O)
	$(AR) $@ $?
	$(RANLIB) $@

BTW, this part of src/Makefile is identical in 5.1 and 5.2...
