I'm not sure what might be wrong here.  I've used mono built with OE
on ARM systems, but not x86.  I'm planning to add Mono 2.0 to OE in
the next week or so, so you might want to try that.  Alternatively,
you can 1.9.1 version in OE.  Set:

PREFERRED_VERSION_mono-native = "1.9.1"
PREFERRED_VERSION_mono-mcs-intermediate = "1.9.1"
PREFERRED_VERSION_mono = "1.9.1"

There is a small build problem with mono-native.  If you run into it,
open a dev shell, type make, and then continue the build.
