ARM EP7xxx ROM image - gcc -g omission requirement

Cirrus Logic has an application note for building ecos
based systems for the EP72xx family of processors.
Page 12 of the app note lists requirements for building
a ROM image for download.
One of the items states "build your application without
the debugger option -g."
I did build with and without -g and diff'd the two
binary files generated by arm-elf-objcopy.
Sure enough they are different even though the byte
count is the same.
Can someone explain why this requirement exists, why
the .bin files are different, and what effect the
difference has?
