Huh?

It's not useful in this particular case, since the path names in the
debugging information will be useless on the target system.

Of course, when converting the object file from ELF to COFF, one could
tweak all Unix pathname information using --change-pathname options
(that's exactly the purpose of this switch).

Eric Weddington might correct me if I'm wrong, but IIRC if you've got
a few Cygwin bits around on the Windows machine, compiling avr-libc
from source is not a big deal.  Debugging symbols are present by
default.  WinAVR explicitly strips them because they used to confuse
people by getting obscure warnings in the COFF converter, and because
of the pathname issue (development machine vs. target system), they
are pretty pointless on the target machine anyway.
