mono is the JIT, it's not built for ppc systems since it's x86-specific.
The new JIT will build on macosx. Just use mint instead of mono.

I'm building from cvs, so if you have the correct packages install it
should build out of the box.

It's not related to posix threads.
I think someone promised to provide an implementation for those two
little functions (details on how to implement them are in the appendix
to the powerpc processor manual). If nobody gets to it, I'll write the
functions in the next few days.
