Sounds pretty stupid to me (from a security point of view - it's almost
as insane as Linspire doing *everything* as root!)

It shouldn't. Out of interest, which version of automake and autoconf
are you using there? It sounds like something is a bit bust. Have you
made it before in /usr/local?

It sounds like there is some left over from the previous build to me.
Check /usr/local/lib vs /usr/lib to see if any of the mono libs have
been put into /usr/local/lib. If they have, hose them.

TTFN
