Let's see how far we get with compression first.

Using 64 character random strings will make symbolic debugging
unpleasant.
You could simply add a "trivial" version of the struct +
enclosing function name (ie once, without repetitions) before or
after the random character string. This way you would know which
struct its referring to, its unique, and you still avoid
generating a 5 Exabyte large symbol name just to
compress/hash/whatever it.
