I'm not missing the debug infos (well, except for the thread library if I
understand correctly - and that affects a lot of other tests, but not this).
Perhaps it the version of gdb, but not any compilation flags that can be
changed for the notmuch tree.

Without the changes, I'm getting these two kind of errors (and as you can see,
the test for the debugging symbols passes too).

(The above is then repeated for all gdb using `insert` tests.)
