rsp file in mono

The book of CLR via C# 3rd explains about the default global CSC.rsp file in page 35. What's the equivalent rsp file in mono?

I searched the mono directory to find 

/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/2.8/lib/mono/4.0/xbuild.rsp
which doesn't have nothing in it.

The mono compiler currently doesn't use a separate file: the list of default assemblies is hardcoded in the source file (mcs/driver.cs in the sources). By default only System and System.Xml are loaded. The above holds for the command-line compiler, xbuild, Monodevelop or other tools may have different default sets themselves.

A somewhat equivalent for mono is the pkg-config file dotnet.pc, but you have to use the command line option -pkg to load it explicitly:

gmcs -pkg:dotnet myprogram.cs
