[oe] What is glibc-intermediate for?

[Detlef Vollmann]

Hello,

building a (cross-)toolchain isn't easy and I'm currently trying
to get my mind around it.

My understanding was always that we have the following order:
 linux-libc-headers
 glibc-initial
 gcc-cross-initial
 glibc-intermediate
 gcc-cross
 glibc

But looking at my current build, it turns out that the actual order
is different:
 linux-libc-headers
 glibc-initial
 gcc-cross-initial
 glibc-intermediate
 glibc
 gcc-cross

So, what is glibc-intermediate for (except wasting quite a lot of time)?
