you need to tell the linker where to put the debugging information.  in
the script above it is omitted, so it's getting discarded.

try (something similar to) the following:

SECTIONS {
	.text : { * (.text) }
	.data : { * (.data) }
	.bss  : { * (.bss) }

	.stab 0 (NOLOAD) : { * (.stab) }
	.stabstr 0 (NOLOAD) : { * (.stabstr) }
}
