No, those are all just normal files.
The odd thing is, mpspec.h includes <mach_mpspec.h>, which is located in
several times in
/usr/include/asm/mach-*/mach_mpspec.h

I tried to compile the debian source package of star (1.5a67), which
complained about missing dev files.
After installing libacl1-dev, libattr1-dev and e2fslibs-dev, this and
the latest source compiled fine.
I would have expected smake/configure complain about any missing stuff...

Ok, with that binary available now, this is what gdb spits out for the
core (sorry no adb here):
(gdb) where
#0  0x0806a3b1 in get_sparse_func ()
#1  0x0805cac8 in xt_file ()
#2  0x0806b4aa in get_sparse ()
#3  0x0805c759 in get_ofile ()
#4  0x0805c6c3 in get_file ()
#5  0x0805ac5f in extracti ()
#6  0x0805a74a in extract ()
#7  0x0804d471 in main ()


Does that help?
