This is a MS.NET exception:

It seems that you've somehow managed to run mcs on MS.NET's runtime.
This is not supported and not intended but it could be caused
by this:

The space in "Program Files" might break the build system.
At least it did it in the past.

Try to reinstall Mono into c:\Mono\, adjust the path,
re-autogen and rebuild.
