The Mono.Options tests no longer compile for the net_4_x profile after
this commit: https://github.com/mono/mono/commit/7e2571ed334e9cee3f0d3bafeef02852310f4d3b

This is because the test depends on the constructor that was removed.
I don't think the test should be changed because it correctly
indicates that the API was broken.

I have 2 questions.

1. Was there any good reason to change the existing constructor in the
net_4_x profile?

After the commit, we still have a constructor that provides the
functionality that's missing from PCL, in the net_4_x profile. So why
switch to doing it in a different way?

2. Why didn't continuous integration catch this?

The test isn't even failing, it's not building at all. This shouldn't
be difficult for an automated system to notice.
