Doing the check in dependencies is not much better than doing it as a
pre-configure hook: it can be delayed quite late in the build process.

What about something like this:
ifeq ($(BR2_PACKAGE_LUAJIT),y)
ifeq ($(TARGET_32BIT)$(HOST_64BIT),yy)
ifneq ($(shell echo 'int main() { return 0; }' |gcc -m32 -o foo -x c - >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo y; rm -f foo),y)
$(error Can't build luajit for 32-bit target on this machine (mising 32-bit development packages))
endif
endif
endif
Not really trivial, but should work with some tweaking...
