Getting System.TypeInitializationException on OSX

See original GitHub issue

I don’t know how to reproduce this. On my machine, using either stage0 or stage1/2 gives me the following exception:

Unhandled Exception: System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'Microsoft.Extensions.PlatformAbstractions.PlatformServices' threw an exception. 
---> System.PlatformNotSupportedException: Error reading Darwin Kernel Version 
---> System.DllNotFoundException: Unable to load DLL 'libc': The specified module could not be found.

Problem solved. …

I had the following three items in my ~/.bash_profile file:

export CPATH=/usr/include
export LIBRARY_PATH=$CPATH
export DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH=$CPATH

After commenting those out, stuff works. No idea what tool wrote those lines there, I’ll see if anything else starts breaking all of the sudden 😃

@ballance Look into your ~/.bash_profile for anything odd, maybe relating to C libraries. The nuclear option would be to back it up and try a vanilla one.
