So, it looks like the in-tree 'mono' binary isn't recognizing the
--config option.  

  * Try '(cd mono && make clean) && make bootstrap' to see if this is a
    transient behaviour/mis-compilation.

  * Edit _tmpinst/bin/mono and add a --profile before the --config flag.
    Any flag will do: we just want to see if there's a problem with the
    option processing.
