Lua on GNU/Linux distros Debian 13.0.0, and Linux Mint 22.2

[sur-behoffski]

G'day,

Brief update, my GNU/Linux assistant works on recent Debian and Linux Mint
releases. This includes compiling Lua from the sources four times for
each platform (C/C++, and static/dynamic library/object files).
I used Lua 5.4.8 for this quick check.

Debian:

- Kernel 6.12.41+deb13

- gcc (Debian 14.2.0-19) 14.2.0

GNU/Linux Mint:

- Kernel 6.14.0-29

- gcc 13.3.0

-------------------------

This conservative check was ok; some more work needs to be done:

1. Try 5.5.0-beta instead of 5.4.8; and

2. Compiling iup showed problems; this is a topic that needs
further investigation, and properly belongs on the iup-users
mailing list (? perhaps gcc-14 is less forgiving than gcc-13?).

cheers, b
