I've recently had the same problem for TACC/Lmod which uses autotools to get lua versions and lua.cpath and lua.path and did infact manage to push the horrendously large patch upstream - https://github.com/TACC/Lmod/commit/0913bf05dd7e8f478f69d5297e26d744ddb5073a Maybe something similar can work for your use case?
Yes, patching the build system works.
The problem with just using -L/path/to/lua/lib/ -llua would be loading library at runtime, unless autotools is smart enough to actually change this CFLAGs into a -Wl,-rpath,/path/to/lua/lib -L/path/to/lua/lib -llua. I am not sure how intelligent autotools is to be able to do this or not.
We already add entries to /etc/ld.so.conf to make things like slotted LLVM work.
