Our rpm build system, and build bot, all build version 1.1.x off of
1.1.x-1. For the 1.1 series, I've never seen this fail. If it does fail,
that means that somebody didn't do the BOOTSTRAP_OLD or whatever that
var is called thing correctly.

Note that you might not be able to compile the entire class lib with the
old mcs. However, the part of the bootstrap process which uses the old
mcs *must* pass with the latest released version. If you have the latest
mono-core rpm installed, and a fresh svn checkout won't bootstrap, it is
a bug which will eventually show up in buildbot or the rpm system.
