There's a long-standing fault somewhere in the build system on Windows that
causes the mcs/mcs part of the build to sometimes use the MSFT CLR instead
of the Mono one.  make should run the command appending mono.exe but
apparently sometimes it is missed.  See bug 325109
(https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=325109).  The problem seems
only to occur when doing a re-build of mcs so the workaround is to delete
some build outputs first, see the bug.

I don't get the same exact error you get but it may well be the same fault,
and you can use the same workaround.  Unless you're a make (?cygwin) guru
and can work out why this is occuring...
