Need an automated way to get symbolicated crash dumps from Qt build bot

Even a manual way would be good.  Right now I know of no way to symbolicate crash dumps like bug 33653

It is possible, but unfortunately compiling and linking always with symbols is very expensive (CPU load, memory load, build time, binary size, etc.). Our buildbot hardware is so overloaded now, I'm afraid we can't do it now until we setup new buildbot hardwares. But we can make the possibility to get symbolicated crash dumps with a command line option and we will be able to enable it in the future.

On our buildbot master there are a 32 bit and 64 bit debug bot: http://www.sed.hu/webkit/qtbuildbot/waterfall

They provide more useable crash log now, eg: http://www.sed.hu/webkit/qtbuildbot/results/x86-32%20Linux%20Qt%20Debug/r58876%20%283172%29/plugins/inner-html-display-none-stderr.txt

Only name demangling and lineinfos are missing now. :)
AFAIK gdb can make them from core file and symbolicated objects.
