There another problem hiding under this one that effects biarch platforms when
building mono for the non-default mode.

For example on OpenSUSE-10.3 PPC32 is the default, building mono for PPC64 will
fail with:

Testing mkbundle...
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible
/home/sjmunroe/src/mono-ppc/mono64-2.4-patched/mono/mini/.libs/libmono.a when
searching for -lmono

Similarly for SLES11 where PPC64 is the default the PPC32 build will fail.

The problem is that while (for OpenSUSE-10.3) you can set up the configure
with:

CC="gcc -m64" ./autogen.sh --prefix=/opt/mono64 --build=powerpc64-linux
--host=powerpc64-linux --target=powerpc64-linux

and build a 64-bit mono. This information is not passed into mkbundle.exe for
the make check. So the assembly of test.s and the link of the bundle executable
will use the default mode (PPC32) for the toolchain and that will not match the
libmono.a (PPC64).
