Comment:

 OK, strange, the only difference seems to be
 {{{
 -o LuaJIT-src/src/lj_char.o >/dev/null 2>&1
 }}}
 vs.
 {{{
 -fno-common -DPIC -o LuaJIT-src/src/.libs/lj_char.o
 }}}
 so nothing to do with `-msse2` flag or anything of that sort that could be
 related to a too old processor.

 No error on PPC is easy to explain: building luajit is completely excluded
 on PPC.

 I strongly suspect that the version of LuaJIT in TeX Live is the very
 latest one (probably 2.1.0-beta3).

 It would be interesting to figure out where exactly the problem is and to
 come up with some minimal example to report somewhere upstream (whether
 that's `gcc`, `luajit` or whoever). This probably includes trying to:
 * compile the latest (beta) luajit with the `cxx11 1.1` PG, both on 10.5
 and by forcing gcc 6 on 10.6 or later (that is: try to reproduce the
 problem in luajit which is a much simpler piece of software than
 luajittex)
 * compile texlive (luajittex) with gcc6 against the same stdlib on some
 newer OS
