It's a bit confusing since there are two linkers:

1. the managed one (which is the one you mention above);

2. the unmanaged linker (gcc's linker) which will link the final
MonoTouch application with any native libraries (the iOS frameworks
and any other static library that you added to your project).

Release? Definitively! That's the setting that will result in the
smallest application size possible.

Note that it requires a bit more testing since the (managed) linker
could be removing stuff that your application is using indirectly
(e.g. using reflection). The "Link SDK assemblies only" (default)
won't touch your application code.

However since the "Link all assemblies" is a superset of "Link SDK
assemblies only" it should _not_ fix your build. Something else must
be different between the projects on your two macs.
