[Mono-dev] Undefined reference to 'mono_set_rootdir' while building metadata path

[Brian Crowell]

When linking a file in the /mono/metadata directory, the following error occurs:

/bin/sh ../../libtool --tag=CC --mode=link gcc -O -g -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -g

As far as I can tell, everything else seems to be building correctly. This is on 
DamnSmallLinux, though, so I'm probably missing a shell variable or dependency.
I know for certain that libgdiplus is not installed, but I don't think that's 
it. Can anyone give me a hint?
