Well, my point of view is that if the libc that M$ provides
with WinCE falls short of the ANSI C standard, it is not worthy
to be used in conjunction with LUA. LUA is plain ANSI C.
I think LUA should remain like that, without too many #ifdefs.
There are complete ANSI C libraries for WinCE available.
Look here for a commercial one:

And here for a free one:
http://www.uclibc.org/
AFAICS, with uclibc, and gcc, or dinkumwares's libc,
portability problems should be solved.
Then again, this is merely my opinion.
If the makers of Lua decide otherwise, I'll accept their
decision.
