[... complicated try at de-mangling these manually del'ed]

Why so complicated? Just save the symify output to a file (symify -o
outfile does that, IIRC), and then run 'cxxfilt' on that. 'cxxfilt' is
part of the binutils distribution and it is meant exactly for this
purpose: de-mangle the text output from binary utilities (like our
'symify') that don't know how to do this themselves.
