I wsn't using the CVS tree.  I was using 
cm3-src-all-5.8.6-REL.tgz, downloaded from 
http://modula3.elegosoft.com/cm3/releng/download.html.

Maybe your instructions apply only to a still-newer source

So you compile the gcc backend.  Presumably cross-compile 
it if necessary.  Does gcc on one platform also produce 
object code for another?  Or does the script custom-pick 
the backend depending on the target platform?
