[Mono-list] Building from CVS

Hi,

I successfully built mono from CVs, but all the files in the lib/ directory
have length 0, and when trying to build mcs, it fails
-rw-r--r--    1 daniel   daniel          0 Nov 24 19:01 System.Xml.dll
-rw-r--r--    1 daniel   daniel          0 Nov 24 19:01 System.Web.Services.dll
-rw-r--r--    1 daniel   daniel          0 Nov 24 19:01 System.Web.dll

It is my understanding that these libraries only build on Windows currently
and that I need to get binaries from somewhere and copy them there.

But I cannot find those binaries anywhere:
http://mono.baselabs.org seems to be down
http://www.debianplanet.org/mono/  has not been updated since august and
when installed it complains there's a mistmach, same happens with the
mono-0.16 binaries
http://www.superin.formativ.net/mono/mono.htm  gives a 404

I have used google but cannot find a place where to download the binaries.
So, how do people who build from CVS on Linux get those libraries? 
Am I missing any step and it is indeed possible to build them on Linux?

Thanks

Daniel
