This error is caused because Mono's configure was not able to find a way
to determine the stack base.   Chances are you have a modified libc, or
some non-standard configuration.

Could you tell us more about your distribution?

To fix this issue, you need to change the runtime, see in
mono/mini/mini-exceptions.c, and search for the:

mono_thread_get_stack_bounds

routine.   notice that there is a series of checks that try to detect
how to determine the stack base in your OS.   We need to determine why
this code is not working in your case.
