[Mono-list] Corlib/nunit build on linux

[Piers Haken]

But that's not the case, the corlib that's used to run mcs.exe is in the
'install' directory (~/mono/install/lib), but the output is going into
the CVS directory (~/mono/mcs/class/lib). There's no overlap.

Besides, it's irrelevant. Mcs/makefile.gnu builds corlib, then nunit.
There's no place in between where it renames corlib_mcs.dll to
corlib.dll and the nunit makefile explicitly references
'../class/lib/corlib.dll' so the following is broken:

cd ~/mono/mcs
make -f makefile.gnu clean   (this deletes mcs/class/lib/corlib.dll)
make -f makefile.gnu         (this requires it, but doesn't build it)

Unless anyone has any objections, I'm going to change
corlib/makefile.gnu to output corlib.dll instead of corlib_mcs.dll (I've
been building mcs and mono with this change for a while on my machine
and it works fine).

Piers.
