Hi,

in GitLab we have jobs which run BIND system tests on different 
operating system, mostly in Docker on Debian 10 but too in KVM virtual 
machines for non-Linux operating systems. If the test produces core 
dump, we generate backtrace out of it while still in the CI.

For all C libraries but for musl we get reasonable backtraces, e.g. 
https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/bind9/-/jobs/970585, but for Alpine 
Linux 3.11 (musl 1.1.24-r2 & GCC 9.2.0-r4) we get something like this 
(https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/bind9/-/jobs/970568):

warning: Can't read pathname for load map: No error information.
Core was generated by 
`/builds/isc-projects/bind9/bin/named/.libs/lt-named -D statistics-ns3 
-X named.'.
Program terminated with signal SIGABRT, Aborted.

This is how we generate the backtrace:

   "${top_builddir}/libtool" --mode=execute gdb --batch 
--command=run.gdb --core="$coredump" -- "$binary"

The GDB command can be either 'bt' or 'thread apply all bt full' (for 
more on the GDB invocation, see 
https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/bind9/-/blob/main/bin/tests/system/run.sh.in#L268).

CFLAGS used:

   -fno-omit-frame-pointer -fno-optimize-sibling-calls -O1 -g -Wall -Wextra

This is what we install on top of the stock Alpine Linux 3.11 Docker 
image: 
https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/images/-/blob/main/docker/bind9/alpine-template/Dockerfile. 
Are there other packages, we should get into the image to get better 
backtraces?

Should we use something else than GDB?

Should we add some compiler flags?

Thanks,
Michal
