I've been able to compile most of the console tools I need though.

It's here if anyone with mad coding skillz and some spare time fancies playing the greatest game ever in OS2008

Cruel fate strikes again. I've just installed scratchbox intending to have a go at seeing if fixing Nethack is a simple recompile when I find out I'm out of luck unless I recompile my kernel. It seems Fedora 8's stock kernel is missing compat VDSO support and sadly my devotion to Nethack doesn't extend as far as recompiling my kernel. 
Ah well. Maybe in the future.

Go here: http://packages.debian.org/stable/games/nethack-common
Download the source packages to a directory:
* [nethack_3.4.3-10.1.dsc]
* [nethack_3.4.3.orig.tar.gz]
* [nethack_3.4.3-10.1.diff.gz]
Start scratchbox and cd to that directory, run:
dpkg-source -x nethack_3.4.3-10.1.dsc
cd into the resultant nethack_3.4.3[-10.1] directory (I'm guessing the name here)
Try running this:
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
If it complains about debhelper version then edit ./debian/compat and change it to a 4, if it complains about other missing deps then you can either add a -f to the above command line to force it (but it may not work) or make sure you install whatever's missing.
Either way, start a new thread to let us know how you get on as this is now very truely off topic. IRC is the other option.

If I could actually get scratchbox to work without recompiling my kernel I'd rather get the already ported Maemo version working rather than reinvent the wheel and start from scratch with the base version.

For those in this thread who were among the first to update their N800's to OS2008, thank you for being pioneers.
For future upgraders, I would like to suggest a minor change to the procedures. I have tested this and it works.
-- For step 6 in the instructions, the first flash command after you connect the N800,
sudo ./flasher-3.0 --enable-rd-mode is NOT needed.
It puts the N800 into "R&D mode", but that is not necessary for this procedure. Just skip that one.
If you have already issued that flash command, then when you complete the steps your N800 will still be in "R&D mode". It is not strictly necessary, but if you want to turn off R&D mode you'll need to use the flasher program one more time with the command:
sudo ./flasher-3.0 --disable-rd-mode
I have updated this information in the other thread:
How to put OS2008 on N800.... now!
