Testing now with autotools-brokensep in mono-3.4.0.inc.

I did look a bit and it looked like there were several places where
source and build were assumed but I'm not confident that it would be
easy to figure out what to fix and then create a patch for it but I
could look at that and feeding it back to the mono guys. Let me do
that and see how I make out.
