gdb backtrace with core files

[Brian Kuschak <bkuschak@yahoo.com>]

Is anyone succesfully using gdb for mipsel to debug
core dumps?  If so, can you share your secrets for
success?  I tried various recent versions (6.3,
6.1.1), but backtrace never works right, even though
the stack pointer appears to be valid.  gdb-5.3
partially works, but not completely.  

Forcing gdb to use a specific stack pointer and PC
(frame <sp> <pc>) doesn't seem to help either.  

Using linux 2.4.25 and gcc 3.3.3.

Regards,
Brian
