A small update. Vince gave me access to a Simtec-OSIRIS (as reported in /proc/cpuinfo). On it I built 3 times in a row a svn snapshot of what is soon to be released as mono 1.2.1. It built successfully each time (on this fairly fast machine this involves about 2 hours of jitting and garbage collecting). I then built the 1.1.18-x version that apt-get source downloaded and that one showed the FilenotFound exception bug. I applied the fix I implemented in mono 1.2.1 and it built successfully. Right now it is running a second build of the same sources: it hasn't finished yet, but it has passed the point which used to cause the bug. Bdale gave me access to netwinder: the build is not yet finished as this is a much slower box with 64 MB of ram vs 128, but it has passed the point of failure. I'll let the build finish and then do another build inside the unstable chroot, but I'm confident it will build there as well (on Vince's box the builds where on a sid chroot). So the summary is that either using mono 1.2.1 or applying the patch to earlier versions solves all the building issues for mono as well as the packages which manifested themselves as a FileNotfound exception: the bug was in the exception handling code. The only still unresolved issue is the SEGV which showed up on elara: http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.cgi?pkg=mono&arch=arm&ver=1.1.18-3&stamp=1161343362 If I am given access to elara I can try to reproduce that, but it didn't happen in jitted code and it didn't happen in the 6 builds I ran today on other boxes: if it's a bug in the runtime it would be common to all the architectures and unless it has been fixed in mono 1.2.1 already, it doesn't look common or reproducible. The patch is here if anyone is interested: http://lists.ximian.com/pipermail/mono-patches/2006-November/082367.html but I suggest to go ahead with mono 1.2.1 which should be released on Monday (we're preparing rc tarballs today).
