[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/1] mono: remove copy of host etc files on install

[Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni@free-electrons.com>]

Hello,

Angelo, could you comment on this patch touching the Mono package?

Copying $(HOST_DIR)/etc/mono to $(TARGET_DIR)/etc has been there since
you contributed the package, but apparently causes some issues. It
would be nice if you could have a look at the patch proposed by Dustin.

Thanks a lot!

Thomas
