I will look into the bug next week.

It builds if you only keep the *.m files from the compiler, library and
mdbcomp directories.  The command you need is actually:

    mmc -s csharp -m top_level -j4 --no-mercury-stdlib-dir \
        --allow-stubs --link-object mercury_dotnet.cs \
	--csharp-compiler gmcs

The --no-mercury-stdlib-dir makes the compiler fall back to the default
C# compiler name of `csc' instead of `gmcs'.
