You do not say which compiler you are using, nor which version of the 
compiler.  It is very helpful to include such information when you ask 
questions like this.

This is a question about the compiler, so you should send it to the gcc 
mailing list (gcc@gcc.gnu.org) and not this list.  This list is about 
the assembler and linker.

If that switch works for your C++ programs it should also work for your 
C programs.
