`mcs/build/common/Consts.cs' is built by mono's `configure' step,
so you've probably not followed http://mono-project.com/Compiling_Mono 
and your system is now missing this file.

If you only want to play with mcs, it's probably easier to
just get Consts.cs from a release tarball:

http://ftp.novell.com/pub/mono/sources/mono/mono-2.0.1.tar.bz2

or from a daily package:

http://mono.ximian.com/daily/mono-latest.tar.bz2
