[Mono-list] Running vs2005 beta 2 compiled code on mono...

[Kornél Pál]

Using the following code the required "?.cctor@@$$FYMXXZ" can be created:

#pragma warning(disable:4483)

void __clrcall __identifier(".cctor")()
{
}

In addition if you set entry point to "main" in linker and don't use the CRT
at all then the resulting assembly should be platform independent.

Unfortunately you cannot use CRT. In order to can use CRT Mono should
implement the MS CRT and some kernel32.dll functions as well.
