Yes, it is only when the gcc driver calls the assembler that the AFLAGS gets used
and the arm assembler apparently requires that you qualify "-g" with "stabs"  .

Maybe a better idea for patch is to override "stabs" 

pseudo code:

if   ! defined(DEBUG_FORMAT)
DEBUG_FORMAT=stabs
end if

AFLAGS="-w,g$(DEBUG_FORMAT)"
