Read it again.  "The (f77) compiler generates C compiler intermediate code."
That means that it produces the same kind of code that the first pass of
the C compiler produces -- parse trees and other exotic things.  These
can then be sent to the second pass of the C compiler just as if they had
originated from a C program.  But there is no intermediate C code.
