[Mono-devel-list] Problem: CSC fails to compile corlib (bug?) or is it an MCS bug ?

[Atsushi Eno]

Hello,

Actually the fixage that Marcus suggested was already applied to
cvs. At least I had been having no trouble on building corlib with csc.

Or is Jacek using other version of csc than MS.NET 1.1?
