Description Wolfgang Müller 2020-01-31 17:21:14 UTC 
As reported in https://github.com/gentoo/musl/issues/293 and upstream in https://github.com/LuaJIT/LuaJIT/issues/552, the current version of luajit will not properly create symlinks to its library files if ldconfig is unavailable. This will happen on musl-based systems, for example.

The following commit fixes the issue and should be included in current stable ebuilds: https://github.com/LuaJIT/LuaJIT/commit/18c9cf7d3788a8f7408df45df92fc4ae3bcc0d80

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Emerge dev-lang/luajit on a system that does not have ldconfig
2. Run a program linked against luajit
Actual Results:  
The program fails, not finding the library.

Expected Results:  
The program starts.
