Following up...

The binaries are a mixed bag.  Some things built for the older CPU on
the DNS-323 work, other things won't even try to execute.

Now and then I get an illegal instruction error, which I find odd: I
would think the newer CPU was a superset of the older one.

Anyway, I did find that the dropbear ssh stuff works, with the exception
of missing dsa.  It has rsa and dss instead, and it doesn't have the
sshd server.

I also have trouble getting rsync on the Hammer to talk to external
rsync software.  External clients complain that the Hammer sends its
version number instead of a greeting.

Still, this is progress.
