[Mono-list] Re: building mcs problem

[Jonathan Pryor]

The version of MCS/corlib you're using to compile MCS and the class
libraries is too old.

You need to grab a recent monocharge, available at:

	http://go-mono.com/daily/

Grab the tarball, and untar it over your current mcs/corlib/*.dll
files.  You should then be able to rebuild.
