Here is the sequence of commands to build mpykdump on your system. This is based on crash version 8.0.0. You may want to check what version of crash your system has to match it. Below is the sequence on RHEL8. You can ignore the error from ‘crash’ compile as we are not going to use the binary, but just need the configuration.
