We recently reorganised the toolchain[1] so that native components (mostly 
`gcc` libs) are only built once instead of being built for every target. 
`cmake` was also added to ensure a consistent version we can investigate and 
patch.

Native `lua` is only required when using the new `luarocks` plugin and I’ve 
moved it to the plugins directory[2] so that it’s built when requested.

Could you post the full `/home/io/misc/mxe/github/log/lua_i686-pc-linux-gnu` 
log? I haven’t seen any issues with native builds of it so far.

That will always be the procedure for a default build. We’ve got new targets 
like `i686-w64-mingw32.static.posix` but the current ones will also continue to 
work.

Cheers,

Tony
