mkbundle System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception error - linux

Question

I'm trying to bundle an application I've made in monodevelop on archlinux.
Once I build the application in monodevelop I go to make a bundle with the following command:
mkbundle --deps file.exe --static
But the output is:
OS is: Linux
Note that statically linking the LGPL Mono runtime has more licensing restrictions than dynamically linking.
See http://www.mono-project.com/Licensing for details on licensing.

Being that I'm statically linking mono I had to install mono-git from the AUR to ensure I had the static libraries.
I'm also not sure why it has two as -o temp.o temp.s listed.
Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT 23NOV:
I have just re-confirmed that as and cc have been installed. The version output is located at: http://pastebin.com/ka25tjWZ
EDIT 24NOV:
As explained in the accepted answer; my mono wasn't compiled correctly.
I rebuilt using abs with the following PKGBUILD and its now working as expected.

Update:
So I ssh'd a friend's ArchLinux and mkbundle works fine there, so I went back to your error:
System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: ApplicationName='cmd',
CommandLine='/c "as -o temp.o temp.s "', CurrentDirectory='', Native
error= Cannot find the specified file at
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start_noshell
Originally I thought you were on Windows due to this error, but you said Linux so I disregarded it. I went to the source of mkbundle and I can see that your ArchLinux box and/or the Mono install is not correctly reporting the 'IsUnix' as false and thus it is not executing the AS cmd via a system call but is trying to use the Windows' cmd to execute it and thus is failing....
static bool IsUnix {
get {
int p = (int) Environment.OSVersion.Platform;
return ((p == 4) || (p == 128) || (p == 6));
}
}
static void Execute (string cmdLine)
{
if (IsUnix) {
Console.WriteLine (cmdLine);
int ret = system (cmdLine);
if (ret != 0)
{
Again, the ArchLinux 4.2.5-1 that I have access to has Mono 4.0.4.1 and works as expected.....
What is returned on your system for each of these lines?:
int p = (int) Environment.OSVersion.Platform;
var islinux = ((p == 4) || (p == 128) || (p == 6));
Original:
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
AS Assembler command. The default is "as".
CC C compiler command. The default is "cc" under Linux and "gcc" under
Windows.
Ref: man mkbundle
This is the same requirement as you would need if you were building mono itself, besides the temp.s assembler code it will also create temp.c file that needs a c compiler. This is the bootstrap code to load/execute your CIL-based code.
If you are missing an assembler on your system, there are a number of packages, such as binutils that will satisfy the requirement.
