It's a shell script, it should work also on other archs. I've installed it on x86 and works for me.

This should be perfectly fine, I just don't have the hardware any longer. So please go ahead x86@. For a test, edit /etc/${PN}.conf with, ss_dbs=" junk.ndb jurlbla.ndb rogue.hdb sanesecurity.ftm sigwhitelist.ign2 spam.ldb malwarehash.hsb " ... si_dbs="" ... mbl_dbs="" And then run ${PN}.sh. It should download the latest databases and display some statistics.
To take some of the load off the arch team, I'm going to go ahead and keyword this: * I used to use the exact same ebuild on x86 hardware * We have a user report that it works on x86 * It's a shell script; there's no reason it shouldn't * All of the deps have an x86-keyworded version 05 Oct 2014; Michael Orlitzky <mjo@gentoo.org> clamav-unofficial-sigs-3.7.2.ebuild: Add keyword ~x86 and update copyright year.
