+Summary: [GMCS] Obsolete error/warning is reported for attribute referenced only in XML doc
+
+GMCS (built from mono svn) reports error CS0619 (or warning CS0618,
+depending on the value of the IsError property on ObsoleteAttribute) if an
+attribute is marked obsolete, but is only referenced in XML docs.
+
+To reproduce, compile the following code snippet (using gmcs
+/target:library /doc:test.xml test.cs):
+
+using System;
+
+/// <summary><see cref="AAttribute" /></summary>
+[Obsolete("whatever", true)]
+public class AAttribute : Attribute {
+}
+
+Actual result:
+
+error CS0619: `AAttribute' is obsolete: `whatever'
+Compilation failed: 1 error(s), 0 warnings
+
+Expected result:
+
+Succesful compilation (without warnings)
+
+Both csc and mcs yield the expected result.
+
+This issue is preventing NAnt from getting compiled using gmcs.
