Yes, that is a bit odd.  This seems to be specific to the CSL toolchain:
it has an extra block that isn't present in the regular gcc.

# staging-linkage and cross-linkage recipes don't work anymore, so do it by hand for this backwards CSL toolchain
do_compile_prepend() {
	ln -sf ${STAGING_DIR_TARGET}${target_libdir}/crt*.o ${CROSS_DIR}/${TARGET_SYS}/lib/
	ln -sf ${STAGING_DIR_TARGET}${target_libdir}/ld-* ${CROSS_DIR}/${TARGET_SYS}/lib/
	ln -sf ${STAGING_DIR_TARGET}/lib/libc* ${CROSS_DIR}/${TARGET_SYS}/lib/ 
	sed -i -e 's:gcc_no_link=yes:gcc_no_link=no:' ${S}/libstdc++-v3/configure
}

I'm not exactly sure what this is all about, but I suspect that this
should probably be getting applied only for the real gcc-cross, not for
the -initial version.  You could try building a different version of
gcc-cross-initial and see if you are then able to compile the CSL
toolchain as gcc-cross.  Alternatively, adding a strategic "mkdir"
command in the function above might clear it up as well.
