Is it really interesting? For objdump many crashes are in quite generic
functions like bfd_getl16 and PC will not differentiate between them.
Using full stacktrace is probably too much but using only PC seems to be
too coarse.

BTW is there a publicly available corpus of binaries from various
architectures?
