No there are no such options. Suricata is normally built with symbols
enabled so you should be able to get a backtrace if you enabled core
dumps before starting Suricata.

Before starting Suricata do:
ulimit -c unlimited

That should get you a core dump. Let me know if you need further assistance.

Cheers,
Victor
