Stabs or DWARF (-g or -gw)? I've seen this in the past with DWARF and Lazarus-compiled applications, but never with Stabs.

No.

The option -g- does disable debug info generation. If it didn't work for you, that means that either the parameter was not actually used (I guess you did not specify it on the command line, but entered it in some dialog in Lazarus), or that after the -g- another -g parameter appears (which will reenabled debug information).

That could help if you are using DWARF. Almost nothing has been changed to Stabs.

Unlikely (and that's not very easy).
