Yes, I just tried it and it works for me, too.  Unfortunately, I've got -g in
makefiles all over the place, and I don't want to change them all.  Is there a
way to change the default debug format of gcc from DWARF2 to COFF?  I thought
that changing

*asm_debug:
%{gstabs*:--gstabs}%{!gstabs*:%{g*:--gdwarf2}}

to

*asm_debug:
%{gstabs*:--gstabs}%{!gstabs*:%{g*:--gcoff}}

in the "specs" file would fix the problem, but it appeared to have no effect.  I
don't really understand the format in that file.  Is it documented somewhere?
