Just upgraded mono (4.8.0.495-1 -> 5.0.0.100-1) and now calling xbuild yields the following warning
>>>> xbuild tool is deprecated and will be removed in future updates, use msbuild instead <<<<The mono package doesn't seem to include the msbuild binary though.
The release notes for mono 5.0.0 (http://www.mono-project.com/docs/about- … 0/#msbuild) mentions this:
We encourage everyone to switch to the msbuild command which is now available on Mono as well.
Can't switch to msbuild though if the msbuild command is not actually available on arch.

MSBuild is separate component and it is not included in Mono source. You can find more info here: [Mono-list] MSBUILD not available in mono 5.0.0.94
I don't think we will soon see MSBuild in repos since it requires .NET Core 1.x to build.
Edit: Added MSBuild PKGBUILD
You can use this PKGBUILD until MSBuild is added to repos.

@srki_82: Many thanks for the solution, it works like a charm. It's just a version update compared to the following package, right?
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/msbuild-15-bin/

Yes it is. I have already notified owner to update package, so you will soon be able to install it from AUR.
