+Summary: --version-script not supported on OS X
+
+The linker flag --version-script is not supported on OS X.  This sets options for libraries that 
+are only applicable to ELF binaries, OSX uses MACH.  This is used in mono/mini and causes 
+the build to fail.
+
+As a workaround, one can just comment out the line:
+
+libmono_la_LDFLAGS=-Wl,-version-script=$(srcdir)/ldscript
+
+in mono/mini/Makefile.am and rerun autogen.sh.  This additional flag needs to be optional 
+depending on the platform.  It should fail on any platform not using ELF binaries.
