The GCC documentation says this about the subject:
Each object file's @var{auxname} is generated from the name of the
output file, if explicitly specified and it is not the final
executable, otherwise it is the basename of the source file. In both
cases any suffix is removed (e.g.@: @file{foo.gcda} for input file
@file{dir/foo.c}, or @file{dir/foo.gcda} for output file specified as
@option{-o dir/foo.o}).
I checked the source code and it seems the documentation is correct.
So, no. :-)
Cheers, Ben
