No.  Currently the compiler is being run on Windows because we lack
some of the core class libraries (as you well point out).  

We obviously want to fill in the classes that we need as soon as
possible to make us self-hosting on Linux.

Sergey and Paolo have been contributing to System.Reflection and
System.Reflection.Emit to make this happen.

Basic console is there.  Threads are being worked on.  Networking
(sockets) are fully non-existant.  Some file IO is there.

Want to contribute? :-)

Best wishes,
Miguel.
