Need advice with gridengine 6.2 and "libcore"

[Orion Poplawski <orion cora nwra com>]

Gridengine 6.2 make uses of a helper library on Linux to ensure that 
coredumps are always performed.  A discussion of the issue can be found 
here:

http://gridengine.sunsource.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=2552

The solution provided is to add a wrapper library called "libcore" that 
basically wraps the set[e][gu]id function calls and makes sure 
prctl(PR_SET_DUMPABLE,1,42,42,42); is called each time.

This ends up with a "libcore.so" in %{_libdir}, which seems like a 
really bad idea.

I've checked it the current setup but have not built it into the 
release.  Scratch build is here:

Suggestions for:

- a better workaround.
- a better location/name for libcore.so.
- ?

are much appreciated.
