[Mono-list] Boostrap mcs and gac path

Well, I had too few words to explain it; external mcs is used only
when it build bootstrappers. Other than that it uses bootstrap stuff.

So, there is no contradiction.

Then it sounds very likely your local issue (weird PATH settings or
whatever else). You never said that you were building from a tarball,
which was not my premise for my explanation.
