[Mono-devel-list] Non GCC compiler patch

Thanks for your compilation fixes, am sure they will be very useful (I
Dick, Paolo or Dietmar should review them).

The right way of coping with the compiler flags is to catch your
platform in configure.in, and then set the flags accordingly there (they
are defined at the top of the file).
