>Description:
While trying to build meta-pkgs/gnome, I noticed that lang/mono2 fails to 
build, thus breaking the build of devel/gnome-sharp, which in turns then breaks 
the build of meta-pkgs/gnome.

When I was doing the same build a few days back on an NetBSD/amd64 6.1_STABLE, 
it just worked fine. I will check the behavior on the amd64 platform later, 
today, to see if it has changed there.

However, these are the errors that occur on NetBSD/i386 6.1_STABLE:

It seems that monolite is outdated. However, running the suggested make-command 
manually to get the latest version leads to a "503 Service Unavailabe", because 
mono.ximian.org is not really up and running, and after a quick check using 
google, this seems to be the case for quite a while - there are lots of 
bug-reports concerning this problem.
Most of the time, the solution was to download monolite-XXX-latest.tar.gz from 
another host, with XXX being either 110 or 111. That version does not lead to a 
working monolite, though.

The first attempt ended in this error-messge:

---->8------

'build/deps/basic-profile-check.exe' failed

build/profiles/basic.make:58: recipe for target 'do-profile-check' failed
gmake[5]: *** [do-profile-check] Error 1
---->8------

this was a simple "make package" in lang/mono2. Since gmcs.exe has been renamed 
to basic.exe in version 111, it was bound to fail.

the second in this (the asterisks are replacement for binary garbage):

This time, I used 'make make 
EXTERNAL_MCS="${WORKOBJDIR}/lang/mono2/default/mono-2.10.9/mcs/class/lib/monolite/basic.exe"
  package'. Sadly, it failed, too.

As meta-pkgs/gnome requires devel/gnome-sharp, which won't build without 
lang/mono2, This is a major show-stopper in building gnome on i386 using the 
meta-pkg.
>How-To-Repeat:
# cd <pkgsrc-dir>/lang/mono2
# make

...go drink some tea, coffee or whatever you like :) ...

When you come back, you'll see the errors.
