+Summary: mcs doesn't correctly resolve const value uses depending on file compilation order
+
+given:
+
+/* t9b.cs */
+using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
+
+namespace Q {
+        public class Test {
+                [DllImport (T.X.Z.BLAH_LIB)]
+                public static extern int frob ();
+
+                public static void Main () {
+                }
+        }
+}
+/* end */
+
+/* t9a.cs */
+namespace T {
+        namespace X {
+                public class Z {
+                        public const string BLAH_LIB = "blah";
+                }
+        }
+}
+/* end */
+
+If compiled with "mcs -o t9 t9a.cs t9b.cs" everything is fine. However, if
+compild with "mcs -o t9 t9b.cs t9a.cs" (note switched order of files), I get:
+
+t9b.cs(5) error CS0117: `T.X.Z' does not contain a definition for `BLAH_LIB'
+
+csc behaves as expected.  Blocking future commit of gtk#-for-win32 patch,
+as it can't compile under linux without a hack :)
