See man coredumpctl how to execute gdb. Compressed coredumps will be
handled automatically by coredumpctl.
Are you saying this is not the case?

Bug#914934: systemd-coredump: at least suggest lz4?

[Patrice Duroux]

Package: systemd-coredump
Version: 239-13
Severity: normal

Hi,

Trying to debug a trouble with the tracker package (in fact with 
tracker-extract) so I have installed systemd-coredump. Then I got in few 
seconds 2,2G for 118 files in /var/lib/systemd/coredump. Ok that is another 
point. They are LZ4 compressed by default. Then should systemd-coredump suggest 
lz4 tool?
gdb is not able to read such coredump, isn't it?

Thanks,
Patrice
