Ah, I did well asking: in my script, I contented myself with the
recommended symlinks after the luametatex building process had
finished, namely:

   ../../texmf-dist/scripts/context/lua/context.lua context.lua
   ../../texmf-dist/scripts/context/lua/mtxrun.lua mtxrun.lua

neglecting luatools, contextjit, mtxrunjit, texexec and texmfstart...
So nothing happened, I daresay, because theses symlinks didn't exist
in the first place?

Anyway, I corrected this omission for today's binaries.

Thanks,
