Referencing a PCL (Portable Class Library) from a Xamarin Mono for Android project

Question

I am using Mono for Android to create an Android application.

I'd like to reference some other library i've written in this project (Compiled as a portable class library).

Whenever i attempt to do so, i get an error saying: "The current project does not support references to Portable Library projects.".

Is there any way to overcome this?

Referencing the compiled project output works just fine.
