+Summary: unsafe support broken
+
+The following test doesn't compile with mcs --unsafe unsafe.cs:
+unsafe.cs(9) error CS0214: Pointers may only be used in an unsafe context
+It compiles fine with csc. It's a blocker in corlib compilation.
+using System;        
+public class ghbn {
+
+	static void Main() {
+	    sbyte[] bbuf = new sbyte [255];
+	    string s;
+	    unsafe {
+		    fixed (sbyte *ss=&bbuf[0]) {
+			    s = new string (ss);
+		    }
+	    }
+            Console.WriteLine("name: {0}", s);
+         }
+}
