The -g flag tells the compiler to generate debugging information. The number behind it sets the level of debug information that should be generated.

option	description
-g0	no debug information
-g1	minimal debug information
-g	default debug information
-g3	maximal debug information

I sorted it out, I messed up the optimization flags, I saw the "-g3" and changed the 3 to a 0, when I should have changed the "-os" to "-o0". Once I switched it to "OPT = -O0 -g3" the debugging is working as expected.

On a side note, what does the "-g" option do in the optimizations? I'm not familiar with this switch...
