If you have the repository.maemo.org mistral repo in your
sources.list, 'apt-get install gdb' will give you the tool, and
apt-get install <library>-dbg should give you the debug symbols that
you need for determining exactly where it crashes. Note that depending
on the library, the debug data can be take a lot of space. Of course
if you can make a guess about where it crashes, you don't need to
install *all* the debug packages :)

For application packages you might need to recompile as usually the
binaries are stripped and it's not customary to make debug packages
for applications...
