[IronPython] clr.CompileModules fails on some python standard lib modules

[Hernan M Foffani]

Several standard lib modules fails to compile through the use of
clr.CompileModules(..). Compiling modules like decimal.py, gettext.py,
glob.py and others (nine in total) all fail with the same message:

SystemError: CompileToMethod cannot compile constant
'IronPython.Runtime.Types.BuiltinFunction' because it is a non-trivial
value, such as a live object. Instead, create an expression tree that
can construct this value.

Is this a known problem? Are we expecting too much trying to compile
the standard library with clr.CompileModules() and this is not a
supported behaviour?

We are using IronPython 2.6.1 for .NET 2.0.
