sure, this is the standard way to generate the dll windows exe.
Under linux ,
--enable-shared --disable-native-texlive-build --disable-static
should work without modifications
(perhaps the linker flag  -Wl,-rpath,'$ORIGIN/.'  can be used to locate the
libtexlua53.so.5  libkpathsea.so.6  in the same folder of the luatex dso) .
