Has anyone attempted to compile mono, rotor or the new Microsoft Open

There definitely have been past efforts, for example:

This post on the WEB400 list implies that IBM did get it working to
some extent, but never released it:

I haven't found any explicit mention of recent efforts, but with
CoreCLR released as open source, I think the door to C# running
directly on the i is more open than it ever has been before. (I don't
believe it's wide open, just more open than before.)
