It's not a GCC option, it's an objcopy option (--only-keep-debug).
See the section in the GDB manual pointed to by Jan for more details.

However, as this option is a close relative of `strip', I'm afraid
that it might not work, for the same (unknown) reasons stripping the
dumped Emacs executable doesn't work.

I agree that if it does work, it's a good idea to pursue.
