These are the errors I was getting:

./configure --prefix=/usr --with-sigaltstack=no  --with-tls=__thread --disable-mcs-build --host=ppc-linux

Resulted in the following error:
...
checking for working __thread... configure: error: cannot run test program while cross compiling

After configure.in was hacked, 'make' gave the following error:

...
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/cis2/mono-2.4/docs'
cd . && make -f docs.make topdir=../mcs convert.exe
make[3]: Entering directory `/home/cis2/mono-2.4/docs'
MCS     [net_2_0] convert.exe
make[3]: *** [convert.exe] Error 1

So I had to hack Makefile.am to get rid of docs from the list of subdirectories.
