The Debian/Ubuntu package lua-compat53-dev installs the files compat-5.3.h and compat-5.3.c into the proper location, see https://packages.debian.org/sid/amd64/lua-compat53-dev/filelist.
So, these files can be included when building native modules.
Is it possible to do the same with luarocks and a rockspec ?

No, LuaRocks does not install general C libraries, only Lua modules. I've always avoided functioning as general-purpose package manager for arbitrary libraries, especially to avoid clashing with distro packages.
