I’ve got the following build errors trying to compile IronRuby trunk w/  
Mono 1.9 on OSX.

Build output:

Anyone have any ideas what’s up?

I run into similar problems last week, though it was related to an  
ambigous reference to System.Action and  
Microsoft.Scripting.Utils.Action. The fix for this was going in and  
manually expanding each reference in the code base. This doesn’t seem  
to be related, but it seems worth pointing out regardless.

I haven’t tested this on Linux/Mono in recent weeks. Let me try that  
now and see if the same problem is encountered. Will report back the  
results shortly.
