I dug into the mono build and figured out that I had a version mismatch 
between 'mono' (builds the runtime for the target) and 'mono-native' 
(builds a runtime for the build system and uses it to build the corlib). 
The key was defining both of the following in local.conf, not just the 
first line which is all I had originally.

PREFERRED_VERSION_mono = "2.10.8.1"
PREFERRED_VERSION_mono-native = "2.10.8.1"

Anyway, attached is a patch against meta-mono (from 
git://git.yoctoproject.org/meta-mono) that makes these changes:
 - Adds a comment to the README about the two configs above.
 - Reconfigures mono to be built without X support, skip as desired.
 - A few packaging tweaks, namely moving the bulky *.mdb (Mono debug 
   databases) to the -dbg package.
 - Adjustment to QA packaging checks to resolve errors encountered.
 - Moved the mono-2.10.8.1 folder in meta-mono/recipes/mono to 
   meta-mono/recipes/mono/files so the contents can be found.
 - Quick fix to mono-xsp recipe to avoid parsing error, probably not the 
   fix to make if mono-xsp was going to be built (but I am not).

Hope that helps some one, it does myself as I can now run Mono apps in my 
qemux86 target. Next challenge is to do the same with a qemuarm target 
(actual hardware comes later :)!
