[NEWBIE] gdb, corefiles and debugging crashes

I was just curious what the best way to debug a crash from circle is?
Normally you'd look where you got a warning in the compile process, but
sometimes it compiles cleanly.

Everytime I do a gdb --core=circle.core it just tells me it was started by
"circle -q 4000" and it failed from a segmentation fault.  Am I missing a
switch that will give me more info?

Is there other options of gdb or some other debugger to help track down
where in the code it's crashing?
