Yes I have.

So it has failed on power8 machines, and on a 970 (the G5).  What CPU
was in the mac mini?

Hmm.

CPU   |kernel|flavour|libc    |monolite version|status|name
------+------+-------+--------+----------------+------+-------
power8|3.16  |ppc64  |2.19-19 |4.0.4.0         |failed|powerpc-unicamp-01
power7|3.2   |ppc64  |2.19-19 |4.1.0.0         |works |rceng03
power7|3.16  |ppc64  |?       |4.0.4.0         |failed|partch
mac G5|3.16  |?      |?       |?               |failed|porpora
mini  |3.16  |ppc    |?       |?               |works |

Could it be the monolite version in use?

My working build says:
Bootstrap compiler: Mono C# compiler version 4.1.0.0

The failed log on powerpc-unicamp-01 and partch both say:
Bootstrap compiler: Mono C# compiler version 4.0.4.0
