Alas, let me take this opportunity to complain about this lousy idea. Normal users, much more than developers, need the information on how to compile a kernel to provide the information, how to extract such information, and what to extract. Sure, a developer can understand better and do things like select the appropriate frame and display the appropriate variables, but compiling a kernel for debug symbols, locating the crash dumps, calling gdb on them with symbol table and typing "list" and "bt" helps a lot already, and the user can then be further instructed in what to do. -- Daniel C.
