No, I can not, because I honestly do not know. I got the options from
a howto document on the web and as my knowledge in that area is close
to non-existant I was happy that the recipe worked.

I just tried again and only --disable-asm does not work. The debugger
integrated in my IDE (Eclipse-CDT but it is gdb under the hood) does
not display variables then.  I think when I first researched I found
an article explaining where this limitation came from but I cannot
find it now.
