If it is just a problem of making sure the info gets written to a file, 
you could easily install a handler for SIGSEGV (or change the default one 
in the library) so that the crash dump is written to a file.  Call that 
file `core' and you can pretend that you have this feature ;-).

The thing is, real core dumps have much more info that just the stack 
frames and the registers.
