If you can reproduce this with preprocessed source, please consider
    reporting a bug; see gcc.gnu.org/bugs.html .

Maybe a macro from a 3rd party lib uses __PRETTY_FUNCTION__ ?

Have you tried running the preprocessor on each file, and grepping the
    output for __PRETTY_FUNCTION__ ? If you have, and
    __PRETTY_FUNCTION__ doesn't occur in the preprocessor output, but
    does occur in the binary, I think you should report a bug.

Maybe you can use some shell hackery to remove these unwanted
    symbols, like this:

nm do | grep -v '__PRETTY_FUNCTION__' | sed -e 's/[0-9a-f]* *[a-zA-Z]/-K/' | xargs strip do
