cxxfilt demangles C++ symbol names. Try following commands for some
object file (compiled from C++ source of course) to see
difference (replace xxxx.o with actual name of file):
	nm xxxx.o | less
	nm xxxx.o | cxxfilt | less
The same is about output from symify.

About gxx. I suggest using gpp.exe instead
