Wonderful! I'll do in minutes!

Mono supports PPC architectures at least stating to the documentation [1]

I don't think this should be reported as a bug. Mono is running while
that error happens, so the problem is somewhere in a library or
similar.
I'll investigate more when the account on the farm will be enabled.

I'm just sending a mono bump upstream and hopefully the new version
will solve the problem. Do you think I'm late?

Sincerely, Angelo
