-The hardest part is to get missing binaries like stty and rrdtool for ARM9. Crosscompiling rrdtool for ARM seems to be a real challenge. I setup Scratchbox and gave it a try (fiddled 2-3 hours with that) and gave up in the end. That is for experts.... :(  If you are an expert in cross-compiling, please provide a documentation how to compile recent rrdtool for ARM or please provide at least the binary !  Luckily, i was able to find coreutils and rrdtool packages on the net, providing binaries which run on chumby.

 +UPDATE ON 03.08.2010: 
 +I spent a day on crosscompiling rrdtool and managed to get recent rrdtool 1.4.4 work on chumby, i.e. ARM platform. Scratchbox is great! Damn, that was one of the hardest and most complex compile orgy i ever did and a lot of trial&error.  I was able to create static binaries for rrdtool (5.5Meg!!!) and rrdupdate (1Meg) and they seem to work well and run fast. Whoever want`s those binaries owes me (and tobi oetiker, sure!) something :D.
