SRC_URI="http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/hello/hello-2.1.1.tar.gz";

use 
SRC_URI="http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/${PN}/${P}.tar.gz"; 
instead, as its less intense on maintainance (no need to update inside
the ebuild for a simple bump)





KEYWORDS="x86 ~alpha ~ppc ~mips ~hppa ~sparc arm"

Is that really right? has it had testing by developer on all the
~<arch>?
has it really been in the tree for long enough to be deemed a stable
ebuild on both x86 and arm?




Don't emake  and econf both fail if they fail, making || die ""  
unnecessary and even impossible?




There's no ChangeLog in the directory.
