Please, do submit the patches, so other people benefit from
this work.

I guess you already solved the issues, but here it is for the
record. In the mono build we use two helper programs to
generate some code that will be later compiled with the rest of
the code.
The first program is monoburg and it's used to generate the
code that does instruction selection.
It is called in the mini/ Makefile as:
	monoburg -c 1 -p -e $(BURGSRC) -d inssel.h -s inssel.c
where for x86 BURGSRC is:
	inssel.brg inssel-float.brg inssel-long32.brg inssel-x86.brg
It will create the inssel.h and inssel.c files.

The other tool is genmdesc and it's used to build a machine
description data strcture from an input file: This tool
can be found in mini/ and for x86 it's invoked:
	./genmdesc cpu-pentium.md cpu-pentium.h pentium_desc

to create the cpu-pentium.h source file.
