No, that might break when you upgrade later.  GCC already has support 
for annotating the assembly output with human-readable line number info. 
 That is option -dA as Ulrich pointed out.

Only DWARF-2 output supports it currently, but if you want to use it say 
together with STABS, it is just a matter of modifying dbxout_source_line 
and add a single statement like this:

      if (flag_debug_asm)
        fprintf (asm_out_file, "\t%s %s:%d\n", ASM_COMMENT_START,
                 filename, line);
