I just had a look at 2.10.9 and it seems corrected already (like the 
later 3.x.x versions). In data/config.in, the relevant line is:
     <dllmap dll="MonoPosixHelper" 
target="libMonoPosixHelper at libsuffix@" os="!windows" />

In 3.10.0, this incorrectly has an absolute path to @prefix@/lib/ in 
front of libMonoPosixHelper at libsuffix@.
