+Summary: Bad CS0647 when __SECURITY_BOOTSTRAP_DB env variable is present
+
+Description of Problem:
+
+MCS reports an error CS0647 even if the __SECURITY_BOOTSTRAP_DB variable is
+present when compiling a non-mscorlib.dll assembly.
+
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Add a DnsPermission to a method in System.Net/Dns.cs
+
+2. Edit System/Makefile to export __SECURITY_BOOTSTRAP_DB
+
+export __SECURITY_BOOTSTRAP_DB=$(topdir)/class/System
+
+3. Compile System.dll
+
+% cd /mcs/class/System
+% make
+
+
+Actual Results:
+
+System.Net/Dns.cs(127) error CS0647: Error emitting 'DnsPermission'
+attribute because 'security custom attributes can not be referenced from
+defining assembly'
+
+
+Expected Results:
+None
+
+
+How often does this happen? 
+Always (except for mscorlib.dll)
+
+
+Additional Information:
+The error is normal _only_ when the variable __SECURITY_BOOTSTRAP_DB
+doesn't exists (and point to a directory). However _most_ of the class
+library requires this as they define their own permission in the same
+assembly that use them.
