The following crashes gmcs:

mono$ gmcs /tmp/a.cs

I should have said: CSC does compile the above program, but the
resulting executable will not work (no generic invocations allowed on
P/Invoke methods).

I think the later is a silly limitation, and could be a "value add" of
Mono, but the "value add" is clearly at the bottom of the priority list.

The only reason for filing this bug is that the compiler should not
crash when generating the above signature.

The issue is that mcs doesn't set the pinvokeimpl flag for the method,
so reflection can't know this shouldn't have a body.

Fixed gmcs part.

But runtime now terminates unexpectedly when produced assembly is
executed.
