I verified this again, and I'm very sure I'm using the Mono runtime:

$ mono.exe c:/cygwin/usr/local/lib/mono/1.0/mcs.exe test.cs
warning CS8028: The method 'System.Object.Finalize()' is marked 'override',
but
doesn't appear to override any virtual or abstract method: it may be ignored
dur
ing overload resolution
C:\cygwin\usr\local\lib\mono\1.0\mscorlib.dll: 'System.Object.Finalize'
(name of
 symbol related to previous warning
Compilation succeeded - 1 warning(s)
