It sounds like the -readnever option you propose would be useful only in the pstack-like situation. So how about adding a -pstack option which will do whatever it takes for GDB to emulate pstack, i.e. avoid reading the symbols, produce a backtrace, and then detach from the process?
I think I would tend to use it 'with' symbols myself...
Then perhaps using the -readnow switch would do what you want.
I understand that the motivation for not reading the symbols is the long time it takes GDB to do that, right?
