You cannot use this with mscorlib:

a) due to lacking documentation, we do not know how microsofts symbol
   writer works.

b) we also do not know how to use a different symbol writer with mscorlib.

So to make this work on Windows, you must run mcs in mono, so that it's
using our corlib.

That should be --debug=dwarf, hmm.

You can ignore this message, it's trying to open the mcs-generated symbol file
which does not exist.  I'll add a check for this.

Same here, it's trying to open the non-existant symbol file.

Ok, that's a bug.  I'll fix it.
