+Summary: Overload resolution problem with null.
+
+This problem manifested itself when compiling mcs on Linux: When DefineType
+(in interfaces.cs) is called with null as parent, the overload mechanism
+seems to choose the worng method as best and the resolution fails: this
+basically happens when a null is given instead of an actual object
+reference. I wrote a small test that fails in windows, too (though the
+original interfaces.cs code compiles, it may have been by chance, because I
+noted that the order of the methods returned to FindMembers may be
+different with our corlib: on windows the right method happened to come
+first...).
