Thanks for that.

The problem is in .cctor which are run to initialize all the RTTI which
cannot be done statically.  It obviously needs to change, but
unfortunately it is not clear to me how it needs to change.

If you are interested in hacking on the compiler to try and fix these
things, let me know as I will be able to provide support, but
unfortunately don't have the time to do it myself, as snowed under with
a project at work at the moment.
