Does GDB support the Packcore functionality?

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

Does RHEL's GDB debugger have the packcore functionality like HP's GDB (called Wildebeest Debugger - WDB) version?

The packcore functionality enables packing a core file with its context – executable, application and system shared libraries. This can be later unpacked on another system in a private directory and it's then possible to debug the core file with the proper original context. It is a useful feature to quickly gather all the data needed from a problematic system to analyze it on another possibly different system.
