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.
