Yes. If we set unlimit core dump, fio will generate a core with 
backtrace like this one:

#0  mfspr (envp=<value optimized out>) at arch/arch-ppc.h:55
55              asm volatile("mfspr %0,%1": "=r" (val) : "K" (reg));
Missing separate debuginfos, use: debuginfo-install glibc-2.12-1.107.el6.ppc64 libaio-0.3.107-10.el6.ppc64
(gdb) bt
#0  mfspr (envp=<value optimized out>) at arch/arch-ppc.h:55
#1  get_cpu_clock (envp=<value optimized out>) at arch/arch-ppc.h:71
#2  atb_child (envp=<value optimized out>) at arch/arch-ppc.h:88
#3  atb_clocktest (envp=<value optimized out>) at arch/arch-ppc.h:98
#4  arch_init (envp=<value optimized out>) at arch/arch-ppc.h:116
#5  initialize_fio (envp=<value optimized out>) at libfio.c:248
#6  0x0000000010067294 in main (argc=<value optimized out>, argv=<value optimized out>,
