Well, technically you could have a .o file that has had all debug info except .debug_line stripped from it.  This is a minimalist use-case that still supports source-location based breakpoints, and identifying functions according to their ELF symbols.  It differs from a line-tables-only scenario because the latter still has a minimal .debug_info section to provide information about inlined functions.

I don't know whether it's common to strip the .o files before linking, or more common to strip the final executables after linking.
