I'd recommend the ones from Solaris' Companion CD, they worked fine.  
Blastwave pulls in its own 'parallel' tree of dependencies.

This probably means you still have Sun's mcs tool in the PATH.

Don't use Mono's libgc. Use a recent Boehm GC. Cf. http://www.mono-project.com/Mono:Solaris

And make sure sigaltstack is disabled, it will crash, too.

mcs is trying to build it and failing! ;-)
