I'm building from the tarball, there is no autogen.sh there. What I've 
been doing for a year (and I found in the README file) is:

wget http://mono.ximian.com/daily/mono-1.1.8.20050818.tar.gz
tar xfz mono-1.1.8.20050818.tar.gz
cd mono-1.1.8.20050818
./configure --prefix=/my/own/build/dir/in/my/home
make
make install

The mcs binary is already included in the package. The problem is that 
starting from mono-1.1.8.20050723, the packaged in mcs binary is not 
used, because it is mistakenly assumed to be wrong version. I'll write 
Raja about this problem.
