[Mono-list] Source lines in backtraces ....

The code that Martin wrote is for the mono runtime, so you should get
the same feature set provided you use the Mono runtime to run MCS on
Windows. 

Here:

You are using the Microsoft.NET runtime to run mcs.  

The problem is that the interface to generate debuging information in
.NET has a subset that is undocumented (you are supposed to pass an
IntPtr handle to the routine).

Now, that being said, you can support a partial set of debugging
information (bug 23665), but we could not support everything, as some
methods are not available (I believe OpenMethod).  This should be better
than nothing, and we should still do it.

I get the same error here.
