I've submitted 207324 for lang/lua52 needing to use -fPIC (kyua build blocked, clang380-import context)

I'm not sure about the kyua stuff, but I was getting a "similar error"
when I built lua5.3 using clang on x64. From memory, I recall adding
the -fPIC option to the lua5.3 Makefile (as the error indicates) and
also having to remove a -luab (or something like that) and then it
worked. Potentially you could just install lua from ports first?
