Description of Problem:

MCS doesn't correctly include the strongname public key inside an 
assembly. 


Steps to reproduce the problem:
*** Must be executed under Windows ***

1. Create a new strongname keypair named hello.snk
   sn -k hello.snk

2. compile the following source with CSC
   csc helloworld.cs

using System;
using System.Reflection;

[assembly: AssemblyKeyFile ("hello.snk")]
[assembly: AssemblyDelaySign (true)]

public class MainClass {
     public static void Main (string[] args)
     {
          Console.WriteLine ("Hello world!");
     }
}

3. Sign the assembly (which already contains the public key)
   sn -R helloworld.exe hello.snk

4. Validate the strongname signature on the CSC generated assembly
   sn -v helloworld.exe

   Result should be: Assembly 'helloworld.exe' is valid

5. Now compile the same source code using MCS
   mcs helloworld.exe

6. Sign the assembly (which SHOULD contains the public key)
   sn -R helloworld.exe hello.snk

7. Validate the strongname signature on the MCS generated assembly

   This results in the following message:
   Failed to verify assembly -- Unable to format error message 80131414

Now from an internal point of view...

AssemblyName an = AssemblyName.GetAssemblyName (assemblyName);
Console.WriteLine (an.GetPublicKey ().Length);

Actual Results (for MCS):
596

Expected Results (as CSC):
160

There'is maybe something missing (or not exposed) in the runtime 
(see 49555).

Here's some results using the "snkey" tool from 49555.

C:\Temp\snhard\snhard\bin\Debug>csc helloworld.cs
Microsoft (R) Visual C# .NET Compiler version 7.10.3052.4
for Microsoft (R) .NET Framework version 1.1.4322

C:\Temp\snhard\snhard\bin\Debug>snkey helloworld.exe
160

C:\Temp\snhard\snhard\bin\Debug>mono snkey.exe helloworld.exe
0

C:\Temp\snhard\snhard\bin\Debug>mcs helloworld.cs
Compilation succeeded

C:\Temp\snhard\snhard\bin\Debug>snkey helloworld.exe
596

C:\Temp\snhard\snhard\bin\Debug>mono snkey.exe helloworld.exe
0

So it seems, IMHO, that both MCS and the runtime needs to be fixed 
for strongnames.

The bug is in the runtime - no changes are required in mcs. 
See 49555 for more details.
