yeah that probably is a case of bundling which is on rise at app level
these days,
One option would be to disable it with `--disable-btls` but I fear that would
disable TLS1.2 support
(http://www.mono-project.com/docs/about-mono/releases/4.8.0/#tls-12-support).
But I have no way of checking that.
interesting, do they support any other TLS implementations ?
It is disabled in 5.x builds by default as it breaks the build e.g.
http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-mono/tree/recipes-mono/mono/mono-5.4.0.201.inc
It's probably time to look at a working build with it re-enabled. Patches
welcomed...
(I did have a quick look at inheriting cmake but that breaks the build too)
I did some more testing. And adding "cmake-native" still doesn't build btls. I
guess it need cmake to figure that out. But this means it was never enabled in the first
place.
So my proposal for the moment is to explicitly set "--disable-btls" for Mono 4
too, this way it builds and it is clear that it is disabled.
If somebody figures out how to enable it again. I will send an updated Patch.

Pascal,
For now I've put a couple of commits into master which re-enable BTLS
for 5.8.022 and 5.4.0.201. Both of these seem to build with your cmake
dependency added.
After listening to the team at #OEDEM I've been working to add basic
Image Test support to core-image-mono and to get the Yocto Auto Builder
going so I can automate some testing of the yocto release vs mono
version vs mono features matrix
That's finally coming together at which point I'm hoping to genericise a
bit more.
There are currently just three basic run time tests which previous to
the image test support I've been performing manually
ref:
http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-mono/tree/lib/oeqa/runtime/cases/mono.py
If you have suggestions/patches for an image test for TLS (or indeed any
other tests) they'll be gratefully received.
At some point I want to extend this with ptest support for running the
Mono test suite on the target { qemu / real hardware etc }
ref: http://www.mono-project.com/community/contributing/test-suite/
Cheers,
Alex
