Hi Pritam,

You can use -frecord-gcc-switches.
This switch causes the command line that was used to invoke the compiler to
be recorded into the object file that is being created.

$ gcc -O2 -frecord-gcc-switches -g -o test test.c
$ <pravin at pravin-VirtualBox:/tmp$> readelf -p .GCC.command.line test
String dump of section '.GCC.command.line':
  [     0]  test.c
  [     7]  -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2
  [    1b]  -mtune=generic
  [    2a]  -march=i686
  [    36]  -g
  [    39]  -O2
  [    3d]  -frecord-gcc-switches
  [    53]  -fstack-protector<-fstack-protectorpravin at pravin-VirtualBox:/tmp$>
$
$ readelf --debug-dump test

<-fstack-protectorpravin at pravin-VirtualBox:/tmp$>
checkout the  *.debug_info* section of readelf output.


Thanks & Regards,
        PraviN
