[mono] AOT compile system assemblies into target image

Is there a way to configure meta-mono to ahead of time (AOT) compile the system assemblies for the target?
Specifically, I would like to not have to run the following on my targets.
sudo mono --aot /usr/lib/mono/4.5/mscorlib.dll
for f in /usr/lib/mono/gac/*/*/*.dll; do sudo mono --aot "$f"; done

Presumably this would require a "mono-cross" recipe to build mono in cross compilation mode and setting up an environment in which running mono -aot found
the appropriate cross version of the assembler and linker; and a recipe that use the target sysroot files as input or extending the main mono recipe.


I've also posted this question to Stack Overflow in case someone here wants to gain some SO rep.
