Emmanuel,

This is not supported with ogr2ogr, though in theory you could write a
script that would turn the geometry back into GML and writing it in a
file.  However, it wouldn't generally be the exact original GML since it
would have been converted to an OGRGeometry internally and then turned back.

What you can do with ogr2ogr is write the geometry as a string attribute
in WKT format.

eg.

ogr2ogr -f CSV out.csv in.gml -sql 'select *,OGR_GEOM_WKT from srclayername'
