[MonoDevelop] Failing to build from git

[Matt Calder]

I routinely build mono + monodevelop from source on my desktop. However, I
have been unable, despite several hours of trying over several days, to
build monodevelop on a new laptop. I installed mono without issue. I cloned
monodevelop and ran:

git submodule update --init --recursive

then

./configure --prefix=/usr

and get:

...
checking for MONO_ADDINS... no
configure: error: Package requirements (mono-addins >= 0.6) were not met:

I cloned the mono-addins project (though I thought the git submodule
business was supposed to remove the need for this), but that fails during
make with:

Can't find custom attr constructor image:
/usr/lib/mono/gac/Microsoft.Build.Tasks.v4.0/4.0.0.0__b03f5f7f11d50a3a/Microsoft.Build.Tasks.v4.0.dll
mtoken: 0x0a0001ef
: error : Error initializing task Message: Exception has been thrown by the
target of an invocation.

I have exhausted my repetoire of tricks and would appreciate any help on
this. My system is:
