I use monotone on NetBSD/alpha. The issues I was facing were: 1/ under
NetBSD 3, monotone did not compile, because gcc 3.3.x had apparently
completely broken exception support. This works in NetBSD 4 with gcc
4.1.2. 2/ I had to disable optimizations in botan, otherwise monotone does
not work.

What gcc has the Debian release you are speaking about?
