Three short notes:

  o cminstall didn't find the non-existent libraries, it just checked
    the existence of a directory:

      checking for library files in directory /usr/local/lib... not found
                   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
      checking for directory /usr/lib... found
               ^^^^^^^^^^^^^

  o Your compiler didn't have LONGINT support, so you need to use
    upgrade.sh. This should be documented (I think it is), as the
    introduction of LONGINT was an incompatible change wrt.
    bootstrapping.

  o cm3-min-POSIX-LINUXLIBC6-d5.7.0-2008-04-08-14-00-05.tgz
    should contain a new compiler and a new runtime, so there's
    no need for bootstrapping cm3, only normal package compilation.
    Realclean is required though to remove old derived files.
