mock build log for AArch64

The issue here is actually with LUA_CDIR incorrectly being /usr/lib instead of /usr/lib64, so this needs to be fixed in lua.  Reassigning, with patch forthcoming.

Patch for rhel-7.3

Is the patch provided sufficient?

Any news on 7.3?

For Docs:

Lua's package.cpath, which is the search path for binary extensions, was incorrect for the AArch64 architecture, causing either binary extensions to be installed into a nonstandard directory, or for extensions installed into the standard location not to be found.  A patch has been applied to use the correct directory on AArch64.

For QA:

package.cpath should be compared with "%{_libdir}/" (note the trailing slash), e.g.:

Incorrect on aarch64 (and other 64-bit arches):

$ lua -e 'print(package.cpath)'
./?.so;/usr/lib/lua/5.1/?.so;/usr/lib/lua/5.1/loadall.so

Correct:

$ lua -e 'print(package.cpath)'
./?.so;/usr/lib64/lua/5.1/?.so;/usr/lib64/lua/5.1/loadall.so

Another test would be to mock rebuild the EPEL lua-bitop package, as the install script uses package.cpath and the spec's %files uses %{_libdir}.
