You can use "objdump -h file.o" and look at the sections. If you see
.stab and .stabstr then you have STABS debug symbols (default for -g);
if you have .debug_{abbrev,info,line,frame,pubnames,aranges,str} then
you have Dwarf-2 debug symbols, which you get with -gdwarf-2 and are
generally more sophisticated and better supported by gdb. If you see
neither of those sets of sections, you have no debug data.
