No, that's the option for *assembly source* files; not files
generated by gcc (C source files).

The gcc option is -gdwarf-2.  If the target has DWARF2 as its
default debug format (perhaps not the release you're using),
then it's implied by -g.

Note that this is the wrong forum for gcc questions.  It's
suitable for discussing the --gdwarf2 option though.  :-)
