IMHO, this piece fits more into makedumpfile only and should be implemented
there. Lets not enable crash to read and understand another custom format.
Secondly, we should maintain compatibility with gdb for few reasons.
- There are people out there who prefer using gdb.
- Sometimes crash is broken because of upstream changes and gdb
can still work in those situations.
- Sometimes gdb itself helps in debugging crash bugs. Sometimes works
as reference that what should be the right output.
