Mono officially requires GCC for compiling, I believe. If you just  
want to compile Mono, use Fedora's gcc instead.

If however for some reason you need to work with that specific  
compiler, ...

... you will have to bisect the function body to find out what it  
doesn't like, since it doesn't say so above. :)

You should probably contact the compiler vendor, as such an assertion  
failure shouldn't happen.
