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?
