[Mono-dev] windows build breakage? (missing CreateString)

[Andy Hume]

That error was one of the ways in which my cygwin build was broken here,
that caused me to try to clean-up, which broke it further as per my
previous thread here.

I wonder whether its anything to do with
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=325109 which I'd like to
call "mcs hosted on *MSFT* CLR rather than Mono one during rebuild on
cygwin build".  It'd be interesting to change mcs to explode if it found
it was running on the MSFT CLR -- it might show that this is happening
frequently?

Perhaps in some cases the build process finds mcs.exe in the path before
mcs.bat and thus the MSFT CLR is used...
