Certainly if you're not using intermediate files then you won't get any
benefit from intermediate files.

Intermediate files are mainly a way of saving disk space by removing
files that are not needed after the build is complete. However, I think
they might be useful with some uses of VPATH as well; I'd need to think
about that.
