Thanks! Unfortunately it seems that gdb does not return non-debugging 
symbols this way. I can get the offending symbol with this approach, but 
not the desired one.

Anyways, while trying that, I figured that the offending symbol comes 
from a dbgsym package that I never meant to install. It somehow slipped 
through to my machine two years ago, too late to figure how it happened. 
After uninstalling it, there is no longer the other symbol to confuse 
gdb, so I can now simply

(gdb) call (void)ps()

This means that my problem is now solved.
