This is because of the following fragment in
mono/runtime/net_1_1/Makefile.am.

  install-data-local:
        @if test -n '$(gac_assemblies)'; then \
          for i in ''$(gac_assemblies); do \
            echo "MONO_PATH=$(srcdir) $(DESTDIR)$(bindir)/mono $(gacutil) /i $(srcdir)/$$i /f /package 1.0 /gacdir $(GAC_DIR) /root $(GAC_DIR)" ; \
            MONO_PATH=$(srcdir) \
              $(LIBTOOL) --mode=execute $(DESTDIR)$(bindir)/mono $(gacutil) /i $(srcdir)/$$i /f /package 1.0 /gacdir $(GAC_DIR) /root $(GAC_DIR) || exit 1 ; \
          done; fi
                                                                                
This assumes that the just-installed mono binary is in a runnable
state.  However, when $(DESTDIR) is set, for instance, this is not
true.  We'll need to revert this to running the in-tree mono runtime
with libtool.

Eno, now that you define GAC_DIR with 'cygpath', do you still need to
run the installed mono?
