Thanks!

In a private mail you send to me a few minutes before / after this one,
you say you tested in a VM.  This may be a hint!  Jails are known to
have a default configuration too restrictive for compiling / running
mono.  We added a line about it in the pkg-message file recently:

What VM are you using? Do you know some way a shell script may detect if
the underlying OS is running on such a VM?  It would be good to be sure
that this VM is not suitable for installing / using mono are find out
any configuration option that might do the trick.
