Does gcc not pass '-g' through to the assembler backend? When I added 
-Wa,-gdwarf-2 I saw no change in file sizes.
If not, then still would -Wa,-g not be better? It should use the best 
debug format for the target system, just as -g does for gcc. Otherwise 
I would think we should be using -gdwarf-2 for C files as well.
