Besides using tee, you could run gdb within an emacs shell session (or use
emacs' gdb mode) and copy the buffer to a file, or use the 'script' command
that many Unixen provide (output is in the 'typescript' file).  On older
systems, xterm might have a logging option (which was disabled due to security
concerns).
