I suspect you will encounter a number of problems when attempting to build
the il grade:

(1) Bitrot
(2) Do C# pragams now apply to the il grade, the csharp grade or both?
(3) There have been various changes to the Mmakefiles throughout the
     system for the csharp grade that have probably broken the il grade.

The above is probably due to the foreign_export_enum pragmas having never
been tried with the il grade - curiously there are only two such pragmas,
one for C# and one for Java.  (That the above check is being triggered
looks like a bug since the compiler is complaining about both of them
in the il grade.)
