This is looking very good!

The .modules sections would contain the list of loaded modules
at the time of the crash. So, 'info sharedlibrary' should list the same
list of dlls as the live inferior had, and their load addresses should
be the same.

You could tweak your test app to move the crashing code into a mini
dll you'd write. Use 'set sysroot' or 'set solib-search-path' command to
point GDB at the host copy of the dll, and load the minidump
into GDB. GDB should be able to show you the crash site source code,
backtracing from the function in the dll should work, and
'info sharedlibrary' should report correct data, of course.
