Thanks, this was a useful comment. Now I realised that I had used 4.0
framework, which does not make sense.

with this it works:
for f in `find . -name *.csproj`
do
  sed -i 's/ToolsVersion=".*"/ToolsVersion="4.0"/g' $f
  sed -i 's#<TargetFrameworkVersion>.*</TargetFrameworkVersion>#<TargetFrameworkVersion>v4.5</TargetFrameworkVersion>#g'
$f
  sed -i 's#<Project DefaultTargets="Build"
ToolsVersion="4.0">#<Project DefaultTargets="Build" ToolsVersion="4.0"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">#g' $f
  sed -i 's#<Project ToolsVersion="4.0">#<Project ToolsVersion="4.0"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">#g' $f
done

Another little patch to the file main/configure.in, to replace gmcs
with mcs, and MonoDevelop compiles fine with Mono from git master.

Should I submit pull requests to the several git submodules currently
linked in MonoDevelop?
Should we discuss this on the monodevelop develop list?
