With stripped binaries, you can't really do _anything_. You get a
core-file, and you're screwed.

Are you sure?

I'm sure.

In gdb:

No symbol table is loaded.  Use the "file" command.
(gdb) bt
#0  0xb7f16445 in ext2fs_mark_generic_bitmap () from /lib/libext2fs.so.2

Note where the debug info comes from. It comes from the _library_.

So with stripped binary, I still get the backtrace to locate the buggy
function.

No you don't. With the _non-stripped_ library you get the backtrace. 
There's no backtrace at all for the binary itself.
