Usually you can just assume that it has been compiled with debug
support enabled. This is the default and I don't know of any current
Linux distribution or other OS that disables debugging.

I haven't used this for a long time, but I think you must define
NDEBUG to disable debugging. So if you haven't defined this during
compiling or in some header file, debugging should be active. Let's try:

$ export CPPFLAGS=-DNDEBUG
$ ./configure 
$ make
$ make install

Surprisingly, this works. No debug output :-)

Bye,
