I think it'd be nice to provide a more general solution.  I.e, I think
it'd be nice if GDB had a facility whereby output from subsequent
commands would be redirected to a file.  Maybe something along the
following lines?

(gdb) redirect-output /tmp/foo
(gdb) x/10000x 0x01000
(gdb) print/x $pc
(gdb) x/100i $pc-200
(gdb) redirect-output STDOUT

And, it'd also be nice to redirect to be able to redirect to two or
more destinations at the same time...

(gdb) redirect-output /tmp/foo STDOUT
...
