Hello,
Microsoft has recently introduced support for Portable Class
Libraries, allowing the same DLL to be reused for both .Net 4 and
Silverlight 4 without recompiling the source. There are restrictions
on which APIs are available, and some minor API changes from their
non-portable equivalents to gain consistency across the platforms.

What additional development effort would be required for the Mono
project to deliver equivalent Portable Class Library system library
implementations, to be used as library references when compiling .Net
4 / Silverlight 4 portable code with gmcs?
We don't have Portable .NET profile. The first step would be to create
this build profile and probably use linker or hack the compiler to strip
all IL code as it's not needed. On top of that runtime support for
retargetable assemblies is needed. There is already a bug report about
this feature in bugzilla.
I think that's all what is needed.
