Why are you building GTK# 2.10.4 from source? MD depends on GTK#
2.12.8 or later (as described on
http://monodevelop.com/Developers/Building_MonoDevelop#Installing_dependencies)
and unless your distro is more than 3 years old, there are probably
packages available.

Also, I would guess that ambiguity was fixed in newer versions of
GTK#: http://ftp.novell.com/pub/mono/sources-stable/
