[Mono-dev] build fails on genmdesc

[Thad Thompson]

Gerard,
Not sure that this will help, but I've built Mono for a couple of
different ARM processors using Scratchbox2 without too much pain. Below
I've attached the build steps from one of the more recent ones. You may
not need the CFLAGS="-DARM_FPU_FPA" directive.

# On one of the platforms it gave a complaint about ULLONG_MAX which I
believe had 
# a fairly easy workaround.
#
# Note: as of version 2.4.2 building docs from the embedded build
failed. I removed the 
# docs directory from the subdirectory list in the makefile
