try cscc -S hello.cs -o hello.il .. which should work (on *ANY* platform)
Since I think your bug is somewhere in ilasm (some bitflip while assembling
stuff) , you should check if the C# compiler (per se) works ...

If you do get a hello.il , move on to the next step ...

ilasm -o hello.exe hello.il

Which should give you a hello.exe (but a badly corrupted one , I suppose).
If it does work with ilrun , move on to the next stage of development...

ilasm -o hello.obj hello.il
ilalink -o hello.exe -lmscorlib hello.obj

The second stage is where you're likely to encounter bugs which say ...
"bad metadata" :-)

The use of -fbuiltin-library to test cscc without mucking about with
mscorlib.dll is possible ... but I wonder if anyone would want just 
System.Object , String and Exception ... but it still is a test for
those unfortunates who have no pnetlib ... (actually this is a test 
against metadata loading failure of mscorlib.dll)

If all fails , send the files generated bzip2'd to this list or 
address@hidden (or at least to our keen eyed hex-detective 
Mr Weatherley via Savannah) for further inspection. 

Last but not least , copy out all the files generated by ARM stuff and
see if they work in x86 ... it might just work (well , you know , testing
from 360 degrees is not enough, try up & down too...)...

I hope you're able to run stuff off the ARM board ? (ie is the Arm unroller
kicking a...) .. Also gimme a pnetmark as a test...
