That seems fine to me. The main thing we need from gdb on the client side is calculation of a stack trace address signature, we don't need the capabilities of the full gdb (like decoding Python objects) for that.

 - Ensure that you only have gdb-minimal installed
 - Trigger a crash, with e. g. sh -c 'kill -SEGV $$'
