BTW, adrian perez pointed me to this very helpful trick:

 * Put in your ~/.gdbinit file:
set demangle-style none
 * Then pipe the output of GDB through c++filt (a stand-alone demangler).

It works for me.

I see that the WebKit tooling for generating GDB crash logs is already piping the output through c++filt. So I'm going to just set this line on the GTK+ bots ~/.gdbinit files.
