So mono builds itself and then uses the resulting binary during the
build process.  If we link that binary dynamically against libmono.so,
at least some subsequent commands break on ppc.  If we link that binary
statically against libmono.so (but dynamically against everything else)
then subsequent commands work fine and we get mono packages built.  Does
this sound like a bug in gcc or the dynamic linker?  Does this remind
anyone of some other bug they've encountered in the past?
