Try the following test case:

using System;

[Serializable]
public delegate void MyHandler ();

public class Simple
{
	public static void Main(String[] args)
	{
		Console.WriteLine (typeof(MyHandler).GetCustomAttributes (true).Length);
	}
}

Compiling the test case with mcs and gmcs the application always prints
'0', runing in mono or ms.net.
Compiling with ms.net 1.1 it prints '0'
Compiling with ms.net 2.0 and running on ms.net it prints '1'. Running on
mono it prints '0'.

So it seems to be a compiler + runtime issue.

Weird. It works for attributes other than SerializableAttribute.

Ok, looks like MS.NET deals with pseudo custom attributes in a
different way. In 1.1 those attributes are not returned by
GetCustomAttributes(), but in 2.0 they are returned. However, they are
not stored as normal attribtues in the metadata. I haven't found yet
documentation about this change.

A related change about security attributes: they are stored as normal
attributes in the new version instead of as entries in the DeclSecurity
metadata table.

Sebastien's patch is in #62372, so we'll just merge into that.
