Beware: if you do that, you will not be able to call any library
functions, since they were all compiled with underscores prepended.

You will also need to rebuild all the libraries with the appropriate
GCC switch to turn this off, and also rebuild Binutils after
configuring them with this option.  I also think that GDB knows about
underscores, so it (and the debugger built into RHIDE) won't work
without recompiling.

Given all this trouble, are you sure you want it?  Can you explain why
would you need to disable underscores?  I cannot imagine how can they
hurt anybody.
