Of course you can't say: include debug info, but then put away it.

If you never put it in your project I can bet it's off. You can check it with:
Options|Enviroment|Preferences|show process information
and just look if the flag is included when RHIDE calls to gcc.

Did you recompiled ALL the project after adding -g?
To check if your code have or not debug info just look the size and then run 
strip XXXX and check the size again if the size was reduced the program 
allready had debug info, so recompile again and try putting the breakpoint in 
other line.
