We found the following bug with gmcs ( r138189). I¹ll be filling a bugzilla
report as well, but thought I¹d post it here in case someone wants a head
start.

using System;
using System.Linq;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Collections.ObjectModel;

namespace TestNS
{
    public class TestCase
    {
        public static int Compare<T>(T[] array1, T[] array2)
        {
            return 0;
        }

        public static void DoSomething<T>(Func<T, T, int> fn)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(fn(default(T), default(T)));
        }

        public static void DoSomethingElse()
        {
            // Does not work
            DoSomething<byte[]>(TestCase.Compare);
            // Does work
            // DoSomething<byte[]>((a, b) => TestCase.Compare(a, b));
        }
    }
}
