What do you mean by "analyse". If you want to determine where the
program crashed, you need to use a debugger, and you need symbol
tables or else the debugger can't work.

However, if, for example, you just wanted to know the length of the
core file, or how many one bits there were in it, or what have you,
I'm sure you could come up with another way.
