[Mono-devel-list] NullReferenceException in gmcs.exe during make bootstrap

[Jörg Rosenkranz]

Hello all,

During compilation of current CVS using "make bootstrap" 
I get following error message: 

MONO_PATH="../../class/lib/net_2_0:$MONO_PATH" mono  ../../gmcs/gmcs.exe   -d:NET_1_1 -d:NET_2_0 -2 -g /noconfig
/r:mscorlib.dll /define:XML_DEP /r:System.Xml.dll /target:library /out:../../class/lib/net_2_0/System.dll @System
.dll.sources
ALPHA SOFTWARE: Mono C# Compiler 0.91.99.0 for Generics

After this message gmcs hangs and can only be canceled
using Ctrl + C. After reading Raja's mail I've removed 
~/.wapi but this doesn't help.
