We've been using ruby 1.8.6p114 on OpenWRT for about a year (not the 
package from OpenWRT, but a custom built one), and it works well for 
various networking tasks. Very stable, AFAICT. Didn't try p287.

Building native extensions is difficult, though, at least it is in our 
cross-compile setup. I never did get native sqlite3-ruby to build, and 
ended up just opening a pipe to the sqlite executable.
