 The last missing libraries

+Sorry for the missing libraries. They are standard runtime libraries
+in my environment, and I forgot about them.
+I re-built the test in a clean-room environment, I found out that two
+extra libraries were indeed missing and they are now attached.
+
+About the missing SENTINEL byte, this is the only case in which there
+must not be any.
+As a matter of fact, according to ECMA-335 3rd edition, partition II,
+page 156 (almost at the bottom of the page):
+"In the unusual case that a call site supplies no extra arguments, the
+signature shall not include a SENTINEL..."
+
+The call to foo:foo in test.exe does not supply any extra argument.
+Is maybe the problem that Mono always expects the SENTINEL byte?
