It is working for me.  I am using for a quite narrow range of
non-graphical applications running formally verified code.  So on the
one hand I know that it's running and correct, on the other hand I'm
probably running/testing only a small fraction of mono.

I don't really know, but given that it's a re-implementation of Java, I
can only assume it's also write once, debug everywhere.

I didn't know, thanks.  I have moved these to the build phase.

I added that phase and removed this toplevel disabling of
mcs/class/Makefile and went up to adding individual thee failing tests
like so

             (substitute*
              '("mcs/tools/sqlmetal/Makefile"
                "mcs/class/Microsoft.Build.Tasks/Makefile"
                "mcs/class/Microsoft.Build/Makefile"
                "mcs/class/corlib/Makefile"
                "mcs/class/System/Makefile"
                "mcs/class/System.XML/Makefile"
                "mcs/class/System.Configuration/Makefile"
                "mcs/class/System.IO.Compression/Makefile"
                "mcs/class/System.IO.Compression.FileSystem/Makefile"
                "mcs/class/System.Drawing/Makefile")
               (("^include ../../build/rules.make" all)
                (string-append
                 "NO_TEST:=true\n"
                 all
                 "\nrun-test-lib:address@hidden skipping test\n")))
               
and then gave up, and reverted to disabling all mcs/class tests again.

glib:bin only holds the executables sometimes needed during build.  Mono
uses the glib shared library, so bin won't do.
