   Where I can find the spec for the format of an x86 ELF core dump file?
   I've looked in "System V Application Binary Interface: Intel386
   Architecture Processor Supplement, Fourth Edition", and in "ABI+ for
   Intel Architecture, Edition 3.0.1", but haven't seen anything.

As far as I know, ELF core files aren't standardized by any ABI,
beyond things like ET_CORE.  Note that not even all x86 ELF systems
generate the same sorts of core files: SVR4 and GNU/Linux use
different formats.
