 Can you try to reference the 1.0 profile version of the dll directly?
  i.e, use
 
   -r:/usr/lib/mono/1.0/Mono.Cairo.dll
 
 instead of compiling the source files.

+Note also: technically speaking, the compiler should not use the GAC,
+either for direct references (-r:) or for indirect assembly references.
+In that sense, this is a dup of bug 79811.
+
+However, since the compiler uses System.Reflection, we end up using
+the GAC at surprising places.
