I am not sure s2c is not a duplicating work with with others or not. The main work of it is give user a coredump when kernel die like a user level program die. The user can very easy use it with gdb. Now, it support x86/x8664/mips/arm. It's very easy to extend. To support a new arch is not a very hard work. (I use half a day make it support mips and mips64 include the test work.) And the s2c convert program can run on every environment. I try it in x86, x8664, mipsn32 . It didn't depend on any special lib. User can compile it with "gcc s2c.c" to get it. And run it in a small board that didn't have some script support. markup_oops.pl sames still not support cross compile environment. It get module message with modinfo,right? And use some objdump and so on. So even if it support cross compile environment, user use it will need set which objdump he want use. Which mod dir he want use. Right? For the s2c, user just "s2c < message >core" It did everything with itself. After that, gdb vmlinux core.
