[Mono-devel-list] csc build and SecurityPermissionAttributeproblem on cygwin

Hello,

Thanks, it worked on .NET 1.1 (&WinXP). However, I have no idea if
it is no problem with attached fix based on the information above
with .NET 1.0. If no problem was reported, I'll commit it later.

Well, the patches are really quick fix. We might be able to reduce
complicated part of those makefiles.
