Description
[These two lines](https://github.com/luarocks/luarocks/blob/1ada2ea4bbd94ac0c58e3e2cc918194140090a75/src/luarocks/core/cfg.lua#L490-L491) have different version numbers. Is this intentional? It was added to resolve [this issue](https://github.com/luarocks/luarocks/issues/1381) which I found while searching to see what version I should use for `MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET` in my project that embeds Lua.
I'm not particularly familiar with luarocks. I just thought I'd bring this up in case it's a bug.
