GDB debugging support (i.e. -g) should never affect the run-time operation
of a program.

That's source code debugging as used by GDB. They shouldn't be marked as
loadable and thus shouldn't be loaded onto your target at all. If they are,
that would be a bug :). You could remove them with objcopy, but I really
don't think this is likely to be your problem.
