+               jit:
+                       Removes the JIT engine from the build, this reduces
+                       the executable size, and requires that all code
+                       executed by the virtual machine be compiled with
+                       Full AOT before execution.
+
+       --enable-big-arrays
+
+               This enables the use arrays whose indexes are larger
+               than Int32.MaxValue.   
+
+               By default Mono has the same limitation as .NET on
+               Win32 and Win64 and limits array indexes to 32-bit
+               values (even on 64-bit systems).
+
+               In certain scenarios where large arrays are required,
+               you can pass this flag and Mono will be built to
+               support 64-bit arrays.
+
+               This is not the default as it breaks the C embedding
+               ABI that we have exposed through the Mono development
+               cycle.
+
+       --enable-parallel-mark
+
+               Use this option to enable the garbage collector to use
+               multiple CPUs to do its work.  This helps performance
+               on multi-CPU machines as the work is divided across CPUS.
+
+               This option is not currently the default as we have
+               not done much testing with Mono.
