True, I've done "make distclean", and "./autogen.sh && make V=1" again, and now
I didn't get the libmono problem, but a gmcs one:

build/common/basic-profile-check.cs(9,67): error CS0234: The type or namespace
name `AllowReversePInvokeCallsAttribute' does not exist in the namespace
`System.Runtime.InteropServices'. Are you missing an assembly reference?
make[6]: *** [build/deps/basic-profile-check.exe] Error 1

I'll check if this is fixed in HEAD (I'm some revs behind).

But then I guess if a check for g++ should be done at configure time. Can I
contribute a patch for configure.in? If yes, should that check be for every
platform, or only PLATFORM_LINUX?

BTW, why the error msg is so cryptic? Shouldn't it have failed with something
like "g++ command not found" instead of not finding the .so file at a later
phase?

Thanks.
