Try attaching gdb to it, i.e.,

	arm-unknown-linux-gnu-gdb vmlinux

and then connecting to openocd's GDB remote with

	target remote localhost:3333

After that you can backtrace and examine stuff as you normally do with
GDB. Remeber to start with nohlt when you use GDB, but I guess you're
already doing that.
