This seems to indicate your configuration is quite complex, and I
cannot easily understand what are you doing that is different from
the normal build and "emacs -Q" to start Emacs. In particular, this:
$ gdb ./src/emacs-27.0.50.11
Reading symbols from ./src/emacs-27.0.50.11...done.
(gdb) r --dump-file="/home/compro/.emacs.d/.cache/dumps/spacemacs.pdmp"
Starting program:
/home/compro/Downloads/git.savannah.gnu.org/git/emacs/src/emacs-27.0.50.11
--dump-file="/home/compro/.emacs.d/.cache/dumps/spacemacs.pdmp"
indicates that your pdump file is spacemacs.pdmp, but I don't know how
that file was produced, and I cannot easily understand what is
different in your build procedure from the normal upstream build of
Emacs.
I don't know if you can help me but I have some more information on
how the dump might be produced.

I don't think this helps much, as I don't really know anything about
spacemacs and its build procedures.
I went a bit further and tried executing the following using `C-x C-e`
while running spacemacs:
(dump-emacs-portable "~/test.pdmp")
It gave me: eval: unsupported object type in dump: window configuration
Is this a bug or I am supposed to run Emacs in batch mode while dumping?
Yes, dump-emacs-portable can only be invoked in batch mode.
