I've always done core sanity checks with: 1. generate core1 on old kernel 2. generate core2 on new kernel (identical userland scenario) 3. eu-readelf -nl core1 > a 4. eu-readelf -nl core2 > b 5. diff -u a b Then you can eyeball any expected drift like SP address randomization, and be suspicious of all other differences. (Of course, I also test that gdb still likes it.)
