[mono-android] Linker crashing "Failed to resolve System.Console setforegroundcolor"

[Liam Houlahan]

Thanks. I got the source and tried compiling it and found that there was
code for system.console.setforegroundcolor so I figured it must be caused
by improvements to the linker.

Thanks for the help.
