Although I only know about mono what I can guess from my background as a 
PHP programmer, I think this might help you:

From what I can gather, .NET is a cross-platform standard, designed by 
Microsoft. Cross-platform applies to the filesystem as well, and MS's 
dynamic libraries have the .dll extension. Therefore, all the Mono 
libraries have the .dll extension. I have a load of libraries on my 
system ending in .dll, in /usr/lib/mono. I think this problem might be 
related to your dynamic linker, and you might find if you search your 
filesystem you'll find some .dlls as well.

I don't think that mono requesting libraries ending in .dll is a problem 
to do with a bad OS guess :-P
