The code is in IronPython\Runtime\Types\DocBuilder.cs. The specific code which translates to an XML file is in "XPathDocument GetXPathDocument(Assembly asm)".
In theory, we could say "if the file is not found and the pathname contains 'Framework64', then substitute 'Framework' for 'Framework64' and try again." However, this makes a lot of assumptions about things that are not actually guaranteed by the framework -- and in particular, are not likely to be the same under Mono.
