  This question is not for gprofng.
I would like to have the self-contained core file too. Something like

% gdb-archive core


If we tell about core files, I suggest adding two possibilities in Linux:
1. If an application is running interactively, run gdb and attach to the 
process instead of creating the core file.
2. Run pstack instead of creating the core file.
