Cheers, building as the super user without any limits has indeed fixed this problem.  I didn't want to run things in gdb because I find debugging threads extremly anoying, but theres still a problem causing the core to be dumped on each run of mono/mint, and the back trace suggests thats thread related, so sadley I cannot avoid it all together.  Other than that problem though I've been able to bootstrap, and then recompile the cvs version mono and mc using the result, and everything seems to work fine (except as mentioned the coredump when things are finished).

Okay, since the outputed file is in a format that can run on any OS/Arch (in theory at least) so long as mono/mint or another IL runtime is ported to it, then I guess this isn't such a big problem.

Okay, once I get the coredump issue resolved I'll make the patches and submit them to bugzilla, thanks for explaining TRW to do this.
