How do statically compiled programs for x86 platforms behave on x64, btw?
I'm pretty sure they work fine. Someone with more knowledge of Linux binaries needs to comment on how we could best do this, though.
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?
Lua is designed to be extremely portable IIRC, across both architectures and compilers.
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.
That's not a shared host. They can easily install Lua themselves.
