[mono-android] Problem when trying to deploy with Linking enabled

[Jonathan Pobst]

Hello, it appears you are trying to use an library that was not compiled 
against the MonoDroid profile.

Specifically, the System.Diagnostic.Trace class does not exist in the 
MonoDroid profile.

You will probably want to recompile your library against the MonoDroid 
profile so you can remove things that do not exist in MonoDroid.

Hope this helps!
Jonathan
