Stack traces for mozilla product on Linux

Linux users use their distro's provided packages to install mozilla related software. These unfortunately do not send stack traces back when the program crashes. OpenSuse, Fedora and Ubuntu provide instructions on how to provide stack traces. How about gentoo or whatever linux distribution you are using ? I'm trying to collect such instructions if they exist for other distribution and have started at discussion at : http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.dev.apps.thunderbird/browse_thread/thread/0ec23dd5960f31a9. If you use one of the distribution not listed I would love to have instructions on getting stack traces for that distribution.
