Looks like the pan you compiled has no (or not all) debug symbols.

Could you try to recompile pan with the following instructions:

git clone https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/pan.git
cd pan
export CFLAGS="-g"
export CXXFLAGS="-g"
./autogen.sh --with-gnutls --with-dbus --with-gmime-crypto --with-gtkspell 
--enable-libnotify --enable-gkr --enable-manual
make

You should then have a pan executable with debug symbols.

Here's what I have on my system:
$ ls -l pan/gui/pan
-rwxr-xr-x 1 domi domi 40160208 Jul 29 11:18 pan/gui/pan
$ file pan/gui/pan
pan/gui/pan: ELF 64-bit LSB pie executable, x86-64, version 1 (GNU/Linux), 
dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, 
BuildID[sha1]=539f95e4e53f7b4c20e2b489f927436d2460269e, for GNU/Linux 3.2.0, 
with debug_info, not stripped


Note the "debug_info, not stripped" part which indicates that the binary 
contains debug symbol and variable names.
