The version of crash that is in lkcdutils is very old. It was put there
(years ago) as a place holder. At that time, there was some direct use of
the gdb libraries it contained (we're talking about the version of lcrash
before the arch independent version). I don't know if it makes sense to even
keep this version of the source code around any more. It's quite large
(because of the gdb source) and really bogs down the downloading of project
source.  Also, If someone is interested in the crash source, they should be
able to download a much more current version from RedHat...
