IronPython 2.7 runs fine on Mono 2.6.7 (which Ubuntu 11.04 comes with)
when compiled with the v2 target. It's just that Mono 2.6.7 can't
compile the same code.

I just tried the latest trunk:

% git clone git://github.com/IronLanguages/main.git
% cd main/Solutions
% xbuild IronPython.Mono.sln /p:Configuration="v2Release"

And looks like most everything works, with some issues:

Modules/_ast.cs(304,131): error CS0246: The type or namespace name
`Complex' could not be found. Are you missing a using directive or an
assembly reference?
Runtime/PythonOptions.cs(27,6): error CS3021:
`IronPython.PythonDivisionOptions' does not need a CLSCompliant
attribute because the assembly is not marked as CLS-compliant

It was rumored that Ubuntu might be getting a more recent Mono soon,
but it would still be nice to clean this up a bit. Is v2Release really
v3.5Release?
