The components written in c# were initially compiled on windows using
csc. If you look back in the history of the mono project, you'll find a
few announcements from when they got the c# components to be
self-hosting.

If you want to do a full bootstrap from scratch, I think you can still
use microsoft's implementation to do so. It may be possible to use the
pnet c# compiler as well, but I haven't heard of anyone doing so.
