Under the Debian distribution (and possibly others) there is a libreoffice-dbg
package that contains the debug symbols. the first step would be to install
it.

The second step would be to run LibreOffice under gdb to obtain back traces
when there is a segmentation fault.

Alternatively, you could enable the creation of core files:
ulimit -c unlimited
which will create a core file whenever a program crashes. You can then use gdb
to examine the core file.

I am sure there are instructions specific to LibreOffice available somewhere.

Someone who knows the internals of LibreOffice well and who is skilled in
debugging C++ code should be able to find and fix the bugs.
