I tried sending a zip file to both your mail and to the mailing list, but
the attachment was rejected...

Based on that description, I don't see why it would be failing. Could you
provide the full MSBuild output (including, and specifically, the full
aresgen.exe and monodroid.exe command lines).

A .zip would still be useful, as <Link/> shouldn't be at issue... [0]

Thanks,
