A way to get the sockets is to cross-compile Ruby for ARM, with the
additonal advantage of getting a more recent version of Ruby. I did it
a while ago with a 1.8.2 preview, using the famous zruby.rb script, and
it worked. It required a couple of hours of manipulating header files
though. The libraries on the Zaurus were older than expected.
