Your gcc really ought to look in /usr/local/include and /usr/local/lib
by default; I'm not sure what the gcc/cpp is configured like.  Run cpp
-v to see what its include path is.

Otherwise, you can do

CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib ./configure ....

No clue; that error doesn't have anything to do with the mono code or
build.  If anything, it could be an issue with make or gmake.  Change
into the "mono-0.93/mono/mini" directory and run "./genmdesc
./cpu-pentium.md cpu-pentium.h pentium_desc" by hand and see if it
finishes.  If it runs fine and doesn't spew those errors, I'd guess a
make/gmake issue.
