Yep and that is what i did, I have a host-mono, that builds the compiler 
but not the runtime libraries (the ones written in C#).

Than I have a mono package that builds the target compiler and the 
runtime libaries (with use of the host-mono compiler).

Of course the weird thing is that the runtime libraries are written in 
C# and could even be compiled on Windows and still be installed on the 
target.
