When Asterisk is installed from a binary package, you will normally get
binaries without debug symbols to save space. You sypically don't need
the debug information.

However for the cases you do need them, the debug symbols are available
in a separate package (with rpm: the *-debuginfo packages , with debs:
-dbg packages or several similar things).

Debug symbols are not needed at core dumping time. They are only needed
when you try to get something useful from a core dump (e.g. with gdb).
So you can install them after dumping the core. However they must be of
exacatly the same version of the Asterisk package installed on your
system (that dumped the core in the first place).

So basically: just install the package asterisk-debuginfo and try
aagain.

There's also a similar package for glibc for the libc stuff, though this
typically is less useful.
