Nondefault LDFLAGS maybe? Look at the commands that link all the
SUBSYS.o files to produce the postgres executable.

Also, on most Unixen "file /path/to/postgres" will tell the difference
between a stripped and nonstripped executable.

If "file" says that the executable isn't stripped, then the problem is
either with gdb itself or with the way you're invoking it. Could we see
a cut-and-paste of the whole terminal session with gdb, rather than just
the result of the bt part?
