Well it is a little complicated: the tests are run by a script in
debian/rules. Where and how to invoke gdb?

if id -u Debian-exim ; then \
                echo Debian-exim user found, running minimal testsuite ;
\
                chmod +x debian/minimaltest ; \
                rm -rf /home/srs/DEBs/exim/exim4-4.76/test ; \
                for i in build-tree/build-exim4-daemon-light/exim \
                        build-tree/build-exim4-daemon-heavy/exim ;\
                        do mkdir /home/srs/DEBs/exim/exim4-4.76/test &&
\

debian/minimaltest /home/srs/DEBs/exim/exim4-4.76/test $i || \
                        { echo testsuite error  ; exit 1 ; } ; \
                        rm -rf /home/srs/DEBs/exim/exim4-4.76/test ; \
                done \
        fi

Secondly, my comment about that I get a segfault when building the
package, ant obviously the buildd did not, but the segfault happens when
configuring exim4-daemon-light. Shouldn't the problems appear at the
same places in both cases (maybe the buildd use an older version of
gcc?)
