try arm-none-linux-gnueabi or without target, configure should 
figure it out automatically in scratchbox.

you need to get that file (and anything else mono devkit needs) 
locally, and put the directory where it is into your 
~/.gar-local.conf (inside scratchbox)

I'm also not sure if you are aware that the mono devkit instructions
above will not work with sbox 0.9.8.7.

Qemu is incomplete, and especially related to EABI very very 
little tested. I believe only bare minimum needed to start maemo
desktop on it has been implemented.

Due to the EABI transition, there might be porting needed anyway.
For example for floating points, Old os used FPA hardfloat 
format while new os uses VFP floats implmented as softflaot ABI
(for now).
