There is also a .NET -> native code compiler, which compiles via C.
See <http://www.nexus.hu/vargaz2/>.

So you can go C# -> MSIL -> C -> native code.

(1) C# -> MSIL.
    Any .NET C# compiler, e.g. from Portable.NET, Mono, or Microsoft.

(2) MSIL -> C
    Zoltan Varga's ngen clone.

(3) C -> Native code
    Any C compiler, e.g. GNU C.
