	Please upgrade to mono-0.29 and try it again - it is sure to work. An
alternative is to use a daily snapshot from say 2 days ago to build CVS
HEAD.


	As a general rule:

	1. Get the latest mono release; build, install
	2. Get CVS HEAD mcs, mono
	3. cd mono && make fullbuild

	If it fails, get the latest daily package for mono (replace step 1) and
try again :-)


	HTH,
