Oh sorry.  They look like this:

  % readelf -p.GCC.command.line hello.o

  String dump of section '.GCC.command.line':
    [     0]  -iprefix 
/work/builds/gcc/current/arm-eabi/gcc/../lib/gcc/arm-eabi/4.3.0/
    [    5e]  -isystem ../gcc/include
    [    76]  -isystem ../gcc/include-fixed
    [    94]  -D__USES_INITFINI__ hello.c
    [    b0]  -frecord-gcc-switches

Cheers
