Look in the info documents for gas, as and gcc (you can read it from RHIDE 
and they will look like Borland helps).
Additionally you can try using the -S switch to see the assembler output of 
the compiler and learn how the debug information is added.

There is not automatic way. Inline assembler is pasted in the assembler 
output "AS-IS", nothing is added or removed. And without debug information 
you can't step in the sources, only in the disassembler window.
The only way (and I really don't suggest using it) is inline assembler where 
each assembler line is a asm("..."); statement.
