You might find some useful tricks for debugging the segfault in my blog 
post here:

https://amboar.github.io/notes/2022/01/13/openbmc-development-workflow.html

Broadly, the idea is to get gdb hooked up to debug either the process 
or the core dump. If you can extract the core dump from the system then 
you can use the bbdbg script in concert with your local OpenBMC build 
tree to generate a rootfs context to debug the core using 
gdb-multiarch. The other way to go is to get gdbserver onto the BMC and 
then use remote gdb (again using e.g. bbdbg to generate the context in 
which gdb runs).

Hope that helps,

Andrew
