Yes. The only hard part I see is getting the executable filename.
core.c:
---
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <signal.h>
#include <unistd.h>
void init_libcore(void) __attribute__((constructor));
void
sighandler(int signo)
{
struct {
int signo;
pid_t pid;
} s;
int fd;
s.signo = signo;
s.pid = getpid();
fd = open(getenv("SIG_FIFO"), O_WRONLY);
write(fd, &s, sizeof s);
close(fd);
pause();
}
void
init_libcore(void)
{
struct sigaction act;
act.sa_handler = sighandler;
sigfillset(&act.sa_mask);
act.sa_flags = SA_RESETHAND;
sigaction(SIGSEGV, &act, NULL);
}

A program to listen to the fifo should be straightforward.
