How to compile Linux kernel with -O0 flag

Oh, I see. Fortunately I'm not afraid of assembler :) Thanks.

Just out of curiosity - is there a technical reason why -O0 couldn't
be used in Linux kernel? I don't know, spinlocks would not work in this
case because it's how GCC was written or something. Or just nobody
compiles and tests kernel like this so it most likely would not work?

It's just something I always do when I learn new things. Trying to
figure out how to debug something in this new environment. No real task
so far.
