It is explained in the 'Bugs/Reporting' section of the gcc manual.
Invoke 'gcc -E source.c >source.i', and ship the resulting .i file.
Please use the same -I, -D, and -U option you've used when compiling
the file.

The advantage of including preprocessed source compared to original
source is that the maintainers don't need to worry about differences
in header files anymore. Without the proper header files, the bug
might not be reproducable.

Hope this helps,
