[Mono-list] Incorrect path interpretation(gacutil)

[Rafael Teixeira]

You were right: the logic in gacutil driver, gets confused with *nix,
absolute paths.

The following patch makes it behave correctly for your case, I'll be
posting a bugzilla case and attaching the patch for review, but you can
patch locally your gacutil in the meantime.
