I do not support x32 abi for this package. our package is mostly vanilla luajit from upstream. you may want to work with upstream to get it working on x32.

That's why I contacted upstream as reported in URL field. I'm not expecting a resolution from gentoo but that bug can be an entry point for other people trying to get juajit build and run on a x32 profile. That bug can also get patch attached from other gentoo user/developer. And also for me to let gentoo community aware about upstream enhancement on the subjet.

Not quite correct. Unsupported stuff is unsupported, we don't keep bugs for unsupported stuff open.

Not really. We don't apply any patch to fix/improve stuff that isn't supported by upstream, so, even if you (or someone else) have a patch, I won't apply it on our package before you get it accepted by luajit upstream.

Sorry

"We" == myself == gentoo luajit maintainer.
