This looks like a bug to me -- actual code produced is supposed to be the same regardless of the amount of debug information requested. This is important for some debugging scenarios, such as when a binary originally produced with no debug information crashes and a core file is obtained so that the program can be rebuilt with debug information included and then matched to the core file previously produced, which may not be easy to recreate with the rebuilt binary. From this consideration I gather you have a program source which can be used as a test case to reproduce the issue, so can you please file a problem report and include the source and a recipe to reproduce it? Is this a GCC issue with generated assembly or a GAS issue with interpreting it? Maciej
