Thanks for the report. This looks to be the same error from comment #15 on bug #61293. I'll suggest that use try with USE="nptl" as a temporary fix. Any chance you can get a backtrace of the mono process after this barfs? (I know, easier said than done)
*** Bug 88390 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Does 1.1.6-r1 solve this issue for you with USE="-nptl"? Any chance of a gdb backtrace?
I also see this issue (the build error is identical) on amd64, trying to emerge mono-1.1.6-r1, but it fails for me both with USE="nptl" and with USE="-nptl". I _am_ able to build mono successfully from SVN.

Any change with USE="-nptl" with the new mono-1.1.7?
Mostly the same results with 1.1.7 - the error looks like it is farther into the build process than it did in 1.1.4 (it fails at class/corlib which is built after class/System). make[8]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/mono-1.1.7/work/mono-1.1.7/mcs/class/corlib' MONO_PATH="../../class/lib/basic:$MONO_PATH" /var/tmp/portage/mono-1.1.7/work/mono-1.1.7/runtime/mono-wrapper ../../class/lib/basic/mcs.exe /nowarn:649 /nowarn:169 -d:INSIDE_CORLIB -d:NET_1_1 -d:ONLY_1_1 -debug /noconfig /unsafe /nostdlib /target:library /out:mscorlib.dll @corlib.dll.sources Unhandled Exception: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object in (wrapper managed-to-native) System.Object:__icall_wrapper_mono_array_new_specific (intptr,int) in <0x002f3> Mono.CSharp.Block:ResolveMeta (Mono.CSharp.ToplevelBlock toplevel, Mono.CSharp.EmitContext ec, Mono.CSharp.InternalParameters ip)
1.1.7 fails in the same way for me as well, but I think I've narrowed down the issue. The mono ebuild passes --with-tls=pthread to configure, unless USE=nptl and have_NPTL is true. If I hack the ebuild to use --with-tls=__thread regardless, it compiles fine. Running configure from svn uses --with-tls=__thread by default, which I assume is why I'm able to build from svn as well. See also: http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-amd64@lists.debian.org/msg08507.html for what looks like the same issue.
Interesting... You definitely don't have a glibc compiled with NPTL, and yet forcing that option works for you?
Fairly certain that I'm not using nptl, yeah. No /lib64/tls, no nptl USE flag set, and the output of /lib64/libc.so.6 is: GNU C Library 20041102 release version 2.3.4, by Roland McGrath et al.

Ok, i've just commited this, forcing __thread *only* on amd64. Can everyone on this bug please test if possible and report back if this works for them now? (I've only modified 1.1.7 for now). Thanks.
That change worked here with USE="-nptl" Built with gcc4 no less.
Ok, tenatively marking this FIXED. If anyone is still having problems on amd64 after this fix in 1.1.7, please feel free to re-open. Thanks.
