Hi,

770 core dumps from asserts cannot be debugged because C-library abort()
function in 770 has "noreturn" attribute and it's compiled without
frame-pointer. Same thing with the Glib asserts (which call abort()).

You need to:
- re-compile C-library with additional -g -fno-omit-frame-pointer
compiler options and install it on to the device unstripped (you can
strip other debug sections than .debug_frame if the library is too large)
- do same for Glib
- reproduce the crash
Then Gdb works a bit better.
