lua @5.2.2 fails to build on Tiger (with solution)

[mp@…]

During build on Tiger (10.4), lua 5.2.2 fails to compile liolib.c (off_t undeclared)

:info:build /usr/bin/gcc-4.0 -O2 -Wall -DLUA_COMPAT_ALL -fno-common -DLUA_USE_MACOSX\
    -Os -I/opt/local/include -arch ppc   -c -o liolib.o liolib.c
:info:build liolib.c: In function ‘f_seek’:
:info:build liolib.c:551: error: ‘off_t’ undeclared (first use in this function)
:info:build liolib.c:551: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
:info:build liolib.c:551: error: for each function it appears in.)
:info:build liolib.c:551: error: parse error before ‘offset’
:info:build liolib.c:552: error: ‘offset’ undeclared (first use in this function)
:info:build make[2]: *** [liolib.o] Error 1

Solution is to add

#include <sys/types.h>

as advised in ​http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/2011-12/msg00708.html

Attaching solution as Portfile diff.

lua is currently at version 5.3.5 and there is a lua52 port now. If there is still a problem, please open a new ticket against the appropriate port (lua or lua52) with the main.log file.
