I usually use objdump --dwarf=....

But I am not sure either is a good test...

Well it is, if you do something like I assume gcc does with its 
dwarf-strict option.
But that doesn't guarantee much. Since their is plenty of correct dwarf 
that gdb does not handle.

So I guess then there is no automated test, that "feeds" gdb, and checks 
the results?
