On my FC2 box, gcore is a shell script that invokes gdb.  It is
gdb/gcore_gdb.sh in the gdb source tree.  According to the ChangeLog
it was added on 2003-04-17.  I didn't look to see what gdb release
that corresponds to.

Try "help gcore".  Also you will want to "attach" to your running
process first.
