Were you able to do the test? I tried to do so in a qemu chroot, it 
failed at the end:

make[7]: Leaving directory 
'/root/texlive-bin-2023.20230311.66589/Work/libs/luajit/native'

Error: pointer size mismatch in cross-build.

make[6]: *** [Makefile:2035: lj_bcdef.h] Error 1

Not sure, if qemu the correct environment for these kind of tests.
