In previous incarnations of mono, this has worked without a hitch

I'm not sure in this case. As I've said, the last version (2.6.7-3)
build fine on the 64 bit boxes without the need to pass any flags to the
compiler so either Novell has messed with something or the buildsys is
not being nice to me. Can't decide which...
