See

https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Quality_Assurance/Backtraces

on how to obtain a backtrace from it; this backtrace provides you more
information about what went wrong, such that it can be further debugged.

It boils down to recompiling the package and its library dependencies
with debug flags, after which you can run a new core file through gdb.
