GMCS (built from mono svn) reports error CS0619 (or warning CS0618,
depending on the value of the IsError property on ObsoleteAttribute) if an
attribute is marked obsolete, but is only referenced in XML docs.

To reproduce, compile the following code snippet (using gmcs
/target:library /doc:test.xml test.cs):

using System;

/// <summary><see cref="AAttribute" /></summary>
[Obsolete("whatever", true)]
public class AAttribute : Attribute {
}

Actual result:

error CS0619: `AAttribute' is obsolete: `whatever'
Compilation failed: 1 error(s), 0 warnings

Expected result:

Succesful compilation (without warnings)

Both csc and mcs yield the expected result.

This issue is preventing NAnt from getting compiled using gmcs.

Fixed in SVN (mcs only)

I reported this issue again gmcs, not mcs. It was working just fine 
in mcs (last time I checked).

This is still not fixed in mono 1.1.10.1.

The issue was solved and during development and it is working with SVN
HEAD.
