Yes. Yesterday I started responding to this report along the same lines
-- SIGABRT + raise() is assert() or abort(), but there was no error
message, hence abort().

Also, the reporter said in the opening comment that he used

  Host OS: Ubuntu 12.04 with 13.04-Kernel (3.8)

which does ship a debuginfo package for qemu-kvm ("qemu-kvm-dbgsym"),
just some extra repos are needed:

  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash#Debug_Symbol_Packages

Thus I wanted to recommend the reporter to install the debuginfo package
and reproduce the crash (as this would not require him to rebuild anything).

And that's when I noticed

  qemu version 1.5.0

(which is not Ubuntu's pristine version in the 12.04 release, ie. it's
probably a manual build), *with*

  on that server I can't recompile qemu with debugging information

and decided it was a lost cause and deleted my email.
