This is wrong assumptation. It works on assemblies, metadata is compatible
between MS.NET and Mono and it works.

But te unupported thing you are talking about is whether ilmerge.exe itself
runs on Mono.

The asnwer is definitely no. It could run on Mono as it is pure IL code but
it uses a lot of imorted DLL functions exported by MS.NET runtime that are
not supported by Mono so in fact the problem is with ILMerge.

Altough I belive that Mono should support unmanaged API (exported DLL
functions, interfaces, ...) of MS.NET runtime as well because it provides
functionality not awailable using managed API and is probably used/required
by managed applications and/or applications embedding the runtime, these
APIs are not supported by Mono at all.
