Easy 

The minumum is just that.
If any penalty reduces the character below the required minimum, another race must be selected...or a new set of character stats generated...

As for A/D&D game questions, I would as soon let WotC answer them, as they own the property.

Minimums are based on adjusted dice scores, so is a PC wishes to be a particular class and there is a racial penalty of -1,
that is deducted from the applicable attribute before the final totals and chatacter class are determined.

Cheerio,
Gary
