You should try a 3.0 based mono version first, you might be running into a
bug which is already fixed.

pointed to by the symbol 'imt_thunks' in the mscorlib aot image.
The thunk receives the imt argument in MONO_ARCH_IMT_REG which is r10 in
this case. This register needs to be set by the caller, which is AOT
generated code.
