 I tried it out and although this issue has been fixed, the Type
 returned still has its BaseType set to System.Array from the loaded
 corlib instead of it being from the corlib being compiled. If you fix
 this, I think it should be it :-)

+Hi Lupus. 
+
+Your patch did solve a lot of the problems but I found one more issue
+which you need to fix :-) 
+
+The array type returned is from the corlib being compiled but as it
+turns out, its ElementType is set to a type from the loaded corlib! So
+inside mcs there is code which does this :
+
+Type element_type = array_type.GetElementType ();
+
+and element_type is from the loaded corlib which completely breaks us.
