 In these cases, mcs should also be explicit about where it looked for the
 assembly.  That is, if I build in /cvs/mono and do the "-r
 System.Drawing.dll" above, it should say something like "error CS0006:
 Cannot find assembly `/cvs/mono/System.Drawing.dll'" so as to clarify where
 exactly it looked.

+Unfortunately, this is also not a bug, but a feature :-)
+
+This is related to #29749 - MCS cannot reference a different System.dll in the application you're compiling than the one it's 
+currently using.  Thus, loading System.Drawing.dll always succeeds because it's already loaded.
+
+The only thing we could do is make MCS abort or issue a warning if you're attempting to -r any core assemblies with full pathnames.
