Again, it depends on the optimization level, but IMHO it's not worth it to implement an heuristic to check if gdb has enough info to run tests.

gdb is not installed on Travis CI, but test_gdb is run on almost all buildbots.

Maybe open an issue to attempt to install gdb on Travis CI?
test_gdb breakage are quiet rare. If you modify code which can impact test_gdb, you can run test_gdb locally. Because breakages are rare, I never invested time on this issue: there are more blocking issues in my agenda ;-)
