Looks like it doesn't want to build w/o lua now.

On my MacOS system configure says:

checking whether we will be linking in Lua... no

... but after fixing the implicit i_gettimeofday declaration, build fails with:

/bin/sh ../../libtool  --tag=CC   --mode=link gcc  -std=gnu99 -g -O2
-fstack-protector-strong -U_FORTIFY_SOURCE -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -Wall -W
-Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wpointer-arith -Wchar-subscripts
-Wformat=2 -Wbad-function-cast -Wno-duplicate-decl-specifier -Wstrict-aliasing=2
-I/opt/local/include   -no-undefined -L/opt/local/lib  -o libdict_lua.la
libtool: link: ar cru .libs/libdict_lua.a 
ar: no archive members specified

(this doesn't happen with 2.3.14.1)

And on OmniOS / Solaris it failed with:

libtool: link: gcc -std=gnu99 -m64 -march=x86-64 -fPIC -Os -Wall -W 
-Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wpointer-arith 
-Wchar-subscripts -Wformat=2 -Wbad-function-cast -fno-builtin-strftime 
-Wstrict-aliasing=2 -m64 -o test-dict test-dict.o  ./.libs/libdict.a 
../lib-test/.libs/libtest.a ../lib/.libs/liblib.a -lsocket -lnsl -lsendfile
gcc: error: ./.libs/libdict_lua.a: No such file or directory
gmake[3]: *** [Makefile:630: test-dict-client] Error 1


I confirm v2.3.15 has an error.

I tried combinations of --with-lua=no, --without-lua, etc, and also 
compiled lua and still it failed.
