[Mono-list] [2]Compiling mcs with other C# Compiler

[Pablo Fischer]

Hi!

Well, First, I said thanks cause I thought that would work :), but it
isn't.

If I run in mcs-0.28 make with:

make MCS=/home/unmada/debian/mono-0.28/debian/tmp/usr/bin/mcs
BOOTSTRAP_MCS=/home/unmada/debian/mono-0.28/debian/tmp/usr/bin/mcs
RUNTIME=/home/unmada/debian/mono-0.28/debian/mono-jit/usr/bin/mono.exe

The first two files are compiled ok, but when It tries to compile corlib
it fails with the following error:

System/Decimal.cs(168) error CS1502: The best overloaded match for
method 'int System.Int32[].GetLength (int)' has some invalid arguments
System/Decimal.cs(168) error CS1503: Argument 0: Cannot convert from
'int' to 'int'
System/Decimal.cs(168) error CS1501: No overload for method `GetLength'
takes `1' arguments
System/Decimal.cs(168) error CS8006: Could not find any applicable
function for this argument list

And there, other 15 errors appears, am I doing something wrong?

Thanks!
Pablo
