Using mono/mcs/class/lib/basic/mcs.exe as my gmcs(*)
I fail to compile the following example:

> cat FooAttribute.cs 
using Castle.ActiveRecord;
namespace F { public class FooAttribute : ActiveRecordAttribute {} }
> cat Bar.cs 
using F;
namespace Bar { [Foo] public class Bar { } }
> gmcs /t:library /r:Castle.ActiveRecord.dll FooAttribute.cs 
> gmcs /t:library /r:FooAttribute.dll Bar.cs 
Bar.cs(2,18): error CS0246: The type or namespace name `Foo' could not be
found. Are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?
Bar.cs(2,18): error CS0616: `F.FooAttribute': is not an attribute class
/home/wysek/mono-fails/20101220-mcs.exe/attribute/FooAttribute.dll (Location of
the symbol related to previous error)
Compilation failed: 2 error(s), 0 warnings

You can get Castle.ActiveRecord.dll from 
http://www.cs.put.poznan.pl/pwysocki/MonoBug-401194/Castle.ActiveRecord.dll

(*) I have just overwritten my gmcs with mcs.exe

Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
It should build (or give me a reasonable error message).
It builds ok in mono 2.8.1.

Expected Results:  
Fails to build.
