It's the DWARF version of the lineinfo unit. It's only required to

Just leave out the -gl parameter.
Ok, I tried to fix it by changing makefile in the rtl\win32
directory but then gdb complained about dwarf offsets.
That's known for Windows and DWARF2, because nobody really ever tested/
fixed DWARF2 support in the compiler for Windows (and I can't do it).
According to http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=12872, it should
however work.
See Tomas' mail for why your test didn't work. With -gl, the compiler
(still) uses stabs. Also note that some cases (the ones outlined in my
comment at http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=13313 ) absolute
references probably won't work yet with -Xg. The reason why is
explained here: http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2009-03/msg00085.html
