I added "arm" to KEYWORDS in net-dns/ddclient/ddclient-3.7.0.ebuild, built digest and emerged ddclient on a Linksys NSLU2 (xscale armv5teb - big endian). For me, it works just fine. I use Dynamic DNS from http://www.dyndns.com. I use Kernel 2.6.16 from SlugOS (OpenSlug 3.10-beta): http://openslug.org/ NSLU2 ~ # emerge -vp ddclient These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!
