Hi All,
I've just found http://sourceware.org/frysk/manpages/fstack.1.html.
This looks like what I need.

Hey Jan,
Thanks for the pointers.
The ABRT project is very interesting.
Concerning the presence of a host on the LAN where multi-GB xfers are not an issue, it is very rarely the case.

This is solved by the ABRT project https://fedorahosted.org/abrt/wiki
automatically getting the right binaries and debug info versions by the build-id present in any binary and core file (with properly configured GCC).
It is now deploying a http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/RetraceServer .
If there are security concerns about running GDB locally (as ABRT has been doing before RetraceServer so far) isn't there located a host for backtraces in LAN where multi-GB transfers are not an issue?

Jan
