The solution provided is to add a wrapper library called "libcore" that
basically wraps the set[e][gu]id function calls and makes sure
prctl(PR_SET_DUMPABLE,1,42,42,42); is called each time.
This ends up with a "libcore.so" in %{_libdir}, which seems like a
really bad idea.
I've checked it the current setup but have not built it into the
release. Scratch build is here:
- a better workaround.
- a better location/name for libcore.so.
- ?
are much appreciated.

Ideally this is integrated with:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/CrashHandling
For core dumps in particular though, just set the core limit to
unlimited; I don't see why the library needs to do this itself.

Apparently it is an issue with setuid/setgid binaries. I haven't really
confirmed the problem myself.

setuid apps don't core dump by default. The reason for that is that they
might dump useful data in the core (like say /etc/shadow)
An app on Linux can actually say "hey I want to core dump anyway" and use
prctl(PR_SET_DUMPABLE, 1);
