This error has been reported repeatedly to the mailing list a week ago.
The solution to fix this build problem in the compiler is to build the
corlib assembly before building the mcs compiler. Run make in
'mcs/class/corlib' before make in 'mcs/mcs'.

You can also use a release tarball (mono-0.26.tar.gz), a release package
(available on http://www.go-mono.com/download.html as well as Red
Carpet) or a daily snapshot tarball (from http://www.go-mono.com/daily)
and they would also work, as they contain pre-built assemblies, which
include corlib.dll. A copy of corlib.dll built within the last 10 days
or so should have this new DiscardBufferedData method defined.
