+Summary: gacutil parameter parsing causes "make install" in "mcs" to work incorrectly
+
+I've noticed that "make install" in "mcs" module doesn't reinstall assembly
+in the GAC. Instead it increases refcount by one which is misleading.
+Obviously the intention was to do a forced reinstall (which is suggested by
+/f parameter).
+
+The problem seems to be related to the fact that gacutil expects the
+parameters in a very strict order (does it really have to be like that?)
+while the build system passes them in reverse order:
+
+In particular this works ok:
+
+gacutil.exe /i filename.dll /f /package 1.0 /root /opt/mono/lib
+
+This one fails:
+
+gacutil.exe /i filename.dll /f /root /opt/mono/lib /package 1.0
+
+The attached patch is a temporary workaround to this issue, but I believe
+gacutil parameter parsing should be fixed instead.
+
+Sorry about the component parameter - I found no "gacutil" or "tools" to
+choose.
