Bug Description
According to "man core 5" the default value for /proc/PID/
The consequence of this is that "Dump ELF headers" is zero instead of one which means that build IDs do not get recorded in core files. Since build IDs are the recommended way of identifying which shared objects were present in a core file this is a problem.
We use build IDs extensively and we would like to see them in core files. The additional file size is trivial, gdb should be compatible with these core files, it is the default on Fedora, and it is supposed to be the default everywhere.
