I just built the mono and mcs trees from scratch under cygwin. Initially
I was having all trouble getting some stuff to compile because I didn't
have any corlib.dll whatsoever. I solved that by using the .NET SDK to
compile and install it, so I should be happy, right?
 
Well nearly - while trying to repeat the entire build process so that I
can document it, I found that despite removing every corlib.dll I can
find, things like 'mcs' are still able to execute. I'm confused because
I was expecting to get a missing library error! I've even gone as far as
rebooting so I can be sure Cygwin isn't caching the DLL in some weird
way.
 
Am I being stupid or what? Did I imagine the initial "Can't find
corlib.dll" errors or what?
