I wouldn't count on this... at least we should provide a dyn-linked version
for those wanting less storage/memory/whatever consumption.
How do statically compiled programs for x86 platforms behave on x64, btw?
And what about more "exotic" platforms like ARM (which can also be
multi-endian, IXP4xx is an example) / SPARC (Toolserver!!!) or PowerPC? Are
they actually supported by Lua?
BTW, what about Mac OS / FreeBSD hosts?
Are there any shared webhosts you know of that run Mac or BSD? At
worst, they can fall into the same group as the no-exec() camp, able
to use Wikipedia content but not 100%.
The webhoster hosting our school's homepage does, for example... They host
all schools in Munich, and I think they're a bit security-paranoid. We don't
have any issues hosting a MediaWiki there, actually. (OK, we never imported
WP content.)
