Bug Description
Our configure checks are all based on checking versions of stuff such as gmcs. This is a little fragile, as distros may well be fixing bugs without bumping the reported version string.
The normal way this would be handled in autofoo is to write tests which actually compile some code, and check that it works. It'd be nice to do this for our various gmcs tests.
