You’ll probably have to resort to obscure hacking.
For example, you could examine the “TracerPid” in your /proc/<pid>/status file to determine if you are being ptraced.
If you actually want to know whether you’re ptraced by a gdb, you could try looking at the exe link of that process (but that’s not reliable).
