I saw that Matej Cepl was replying in the thread who is a colleague of mine and who is the maintainer of the luajit package in openSUSE/SLE. Since SUSE has a commercial interest in working POWER/S390 support, he takes care of the package and makes sure it keeps working on these architectures. My suggestion would be to just pick the packages from openSUSE [1] since they are kept up-to-date. Adrian > [1] https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/devel:languages:lua/luajit -- .''`.
