While I use gcc 4.1.2, there is the old problem with compiling  
expression.cs module from the
mono-2.0/mcs/mcs directory
(see https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=414845).
In fact, compiler (on PowerPC ) cannot manage with long constants as

In particularly, for Mono-2.0 RC1 we get an output like

So, I believe that the given problem was present in all previous Mono 
versions.
