Ouch.

A quick workaround is to build the sources regularly first.  This should
generate the lua interface files so the second (cross-compiling) build
won't even try to build them (they'll pass the up-to-date check).

A more long-term workaround would be to add the lua files directly to
CVS.  The only drawback here is that it clutters the diffs.

The real fix is to tell automake that tolua needs to be compiled for the
build arch not the host architecture.  I have no idea how to do this.
