I think that function takes an argument which is subsequently parsed, which is not really the requirement here:

MonoAssemblyName*
mono_assembly_name_new (const char *name)
{
	MonoAssemblyName *aname = g_new0 (MonoAssemblyName, 1);
	if (mono_assembly_name_parse (name, aname))
		return aname;
	g_free (aname);
	return NULL;
}

MonoAssemblyName went opaque here:

Maybe need a patch like so, that is if the runtime is taking them:

MonoAssemblyName*
mono_assembly_name_create ()
{
	MonoAssemblyName *aname = g_new0 (MonoAssemblyName, 1);
	return aname;
}
