What exact problem are you trying to report here? Quoting a space with \ to the shell causes it to not split the arguments into two words, which means gcc receives an argv[1] = "-g3 -O0" which is obviously bogus. The error is correct. It seems like you are confusing a 'make' feature of continuation lines with the \-newline sequence. But that's not what you're demonstrating here, which is shell quoting. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=37654
