+Summary: Build system assumes '.' exists in path.
+
+Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what you
+are doing.
+Description of Problem:
+When building mono from source, the compilation fails because the build
+system assumes '.' is in your PATH (an unlisted requirement).
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Ensure your PATH variable contains no location of mcs, and doesn't have
+the <builddir>/mcs directory in it.
+2. Configure as suggested by the readme. I enabled the 2.0 preview stuff,
+but I doubt that matters.
+3. Run make.
+
+Actual Results:
+All the C compilation stuff goes fine, but then attempts are made to invoke
+'mcs' from within the mcs directory to compile the various DLLs. This fails
+since there's no 'mcs' in any of the locations mentioned in the PATH.
+
+Expected Results:
+I expected mcs to have been called as './mcs' or the build system inserting
+the <buiddir>/mcs directory into the path before continuing.
+
+How often does this happen?
+Always.
