[Bug preprocessor/30246] New: ggdb3 information lost using temporary preprocessed file ?

Hello,
Objects generated using '-ggdb3' are different if the compilation process is
split in 2 steps (preprocessing and then compilation) or not.
The issue can be reproduced for the following 'main.c' code using the commands
'gcc -ggdb3 -c main.c' and 'gcc -ggdb3 -c main.c -E > main.i; gcc
-ggdb3 -c main.i'.
The resulting sizes are respectively 15400 and 3992 bytes. Using
'-ggdb2' the generated objects are the same. I guess some debugging
information is lost when the compilation process is split into two steps but as
anyway the macro information generated using 'ggdb3' is not usable with gcc
3.4.5 I did not investigated.
Does anybody know if this is the expected behavior or if it is a bug?
Does a workaround exist?
Thanks in advance and best regards,
Serge
PS: we use gcc 3.4.5 on a Linux/Suse Linux Enterprise Server 9 but the
behavior is the same on Solaris 10 (same gcc version).
The main.c code:
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
printf("Hello\n");
return 0;
}
