Ummm...

This file is a user guide to the GNU assembler `as' version
2.15.94.0.2.2.
...
1 Overview
**********

Here is a brief summary of how to invoke `as'.  For details, *note
Command-Line Options: Invoking.

     as [-a[cdhlns][=FILE]] [-alternate] [-D]
      [-defsym SYM=VAL] [-f] [-g] [-gstabs] [-gstabs+]
      [-gdwarf-2] [-help] [-I DIR] [-J] [-K] [-L]
...
`-g'
`--gen-debug'
     Generate debugging information for each assembler source line
     using whichever debug format is preferred by the target.  This
     currently means either STABS, ECOFF or DWARF2.

Am I missing something?

> Wolfgang, please consider applying the patch below to fix this problem.

I do, but I'd like to understand the problem first. Matthew's example
looked to me as if the gcc driver was calling "as" as a result  of  a
"gcc -g" command, and this should IMHO always work.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
