[MonoDevelop] Failing to build from git

[Alan]

Git submodules have nothing to do with autoconf etc. The only reason
for making Mono.Addins a submodule is that we needed fixes which only
existed in git master of Mono.Addins and this was the best way we
could get those fixes released on all supported platforms
simultaenously.

Could you export these two environment variables and then try another
build. Then attach the output to an email so we can diagnose the
issue. It's quite possible the issue would go away if you used a newer
version of mono.

export MONO_LOG_LEVEL=info
export MONO_LOG_MASK=asm
