You can use the c++filt program to print a more readable version of the 
symbol.  When I use "c++filt __ZN4llvm9Statistic17RegisterStatisticEv" 
(I had to add an extra underscore), I get:

llvm::Statistic::RegisterStatistic()

You need to find the LLVM library that defines this method and link it 
into your pass by adding it to the LIBS or USEDLIBS variable in the 
Makefile (or something similar).
