The core file does not have an extension, it is usally just called 
"core.XXXX" with XXX is the process id of the crashed Kamailio process. 
It will reside in the current working directory.

In the /etc/init.d/kamailio startup file you can configure the core 
pattern to be set before Kamailio is started. Then the core files will 
use the defined naming.

On Debian also activate core dumps by editing /etc/default/kamailio

 From your log file:
          0(9548) ALERT: <core> [main.c:745]: core was generated

You see, your binaries already generate core files. Thus, there is no 
need to rebuild Kamailio.

Usually you run "ulimit -c unlimited" before starting the Kamailio 
process to be sure that the core will not be truncated.

Strange. But once you have a core file, you can analyze it and generate 
the backtrace.

Also make sure to not mix openssl libraries - this is often a a problem.
