I'm debugging an application which use a shared lib.

That library has been compiled on my system, and I added to the CFLAGS
used the -ggdb -O0 flags, so I'm quite sure that lib should contain
the source line symbol informations.

Nonetheless when I try to step into the library functions I get:

(gdb) s
Single stepping until exit from function su_clone_start, 
which has no line number information.

Why gdb can't find the source line informations?

How can I verify (e.g. with a commandline tool) wether that
information is present directly analyzing the library files?

TIA.

Best regards.
