Thanks for explaining Phil,
now that I understand the basic difference, lets get a step back and try
to find the cause of my actual problem which is: bitbake doesn't allow
me to build glibc-2.4.
The symptom can be seen here:
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Good so far, bitbake has recognized my PREFERRED_VERSION setting for
2.4. Now let's run bitbake:
---------------------------------------------------------------------

D'oh. Why not?
