I tried 
	configure --enable-64-bit-bfd --enable-largefile

And gdb still has problems accessing memory in the KDUMP that the crash-utility can read.
For example crash can walk the task list but when the gdb macro tries
To access the memory of the second task gdb says it can't access memory.

This was:

Nowadays it is only enough to use during configure:
	--enable-64-bit-bfd


Additionally Fedora is carrying for Linux kernel support:
