+Summary: mcs cannot compile attribute constructs with typeof() expressions
+
+Description:
+
+mcs cannot seem to compile programs with attributes containing typeof() 
+expressions. The System.Xml.Schema namespace uses this functionality 
+quite a bit, so for now I've excluded the System.Xml.Serialization 
+namespace from the build to avoid compilation failure.
+
+Example:
+
+        [XmlArrayItem(typeof(Byte))]
+        public Byte[] Bytes;
+
+Produces:
+
+$ mcs hello.cs
+.\hello.cs(30) error CS0182: An attribute argument must be a constant 
+expression
+, typeof expression or array creation expression
+Error: Compilation failed
