I believe your comment only applies to 2.10.x and earlier.  (I moved
to 2.11.x after being annoyed by the distinction.)  From
http://www.mono-project.com/CSharp_Compiler:

| Starting with Mono version 2.11 a new unified compiler mcs is
available. It replaces
| all previous runtime specific compilers (gmcs, dmcs, smcs). They
still exist (as
| scripts only) to ease the migration path to mcs but we recommend to use mcs.

And indeed, if I compile and reference this instead of
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.dll, mcs will compile my original
program:

namespace Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel {
    public class Application
    {
        public dynamic Columns { get; set; }
    }

    public class Range
    {
        public dynamic Value { get; set; }
    }
}
