Replace "-g" with "-Wa,--gstabs".

You use -g for C files compiled with the C backend and --gstabs for
asm files assembled with gas.

NOTE: you never want to compile C code with both -g and -Wa,--gstabs.
You get two competing sets of symbols and gdb goes all wonky (spent 2
weeks last year tracking that one down).
