It is possible to add additonal flags, but that won't help you because you want to remove an existing flag and that is not possible. GCC also doesn't have a flag that negates the -g flag. If you want to remove the debugging information you can use the strip command to remove this from the compiled extension. But, why do care about the size of the compiled extension? Disk space is cheap these days ;-). Furthermore, if you redistribute the extension as part of an applicationt that is build using py2app the extension will be stripped when it is stuffed inside the application bundle.
