  Ah, I didn't notice that you had a -s flag as well. If I had, I would have
also said that "the -g is even more useless since you are removing all the
debugging information it produces with -s".
  AFAIK -s does not turn off -g, but it simply tells the linker to strip the
final binary. The compiler still adds the extra debugging information when
you specify -g (you can see this from the difference in size of the .o files).

  If -g does not have any negative effect in speed, then that's good. However,
it's still useless to specify it, and you only get a lot larger object files,
wasting your disk space.
  (Note that -s still makes a difference even when you don't specify -g; the
binary still has some debugging information which can be stripped; what -g
does is to add *extra* debugging information.)
