Thanks!  Running the process as the super user with all limits off did indeed solve the problem.  I've now been able to build mcs and all libs with a hacked version of 0.17, though the whole process of when to swap the libraries/runtime etc. and swapping them back was a bit of a pain, anyway, the result can then be used to do a whole build, I did have to
"touch tools/SqlSharp/w"
but thats just a make file thing, and might be related to my version of GNU make (GNU Make 3.80), I've not really looked at it properly to know.

Theres still a problem where mono/mint dump core after completing whatever they are doing, it seems to be a thread problem.  That ignored, it now compiles and works fine on NetBSD.  I'll look at sorting out the patches etc. in the nearish future, once I sort the coredump thing out.

Thanks again,
