I have bumped into the same problem a few days ago.  Texinfo is okay, the 
problem is that the GDB manual uses the following line twice:

        @syncodeindex fn cp

One of these lines is in gdb.texinfo, the other one in annotate.texi.  
You need to remove the second one, and the problem will go away.

I will soon check in a patch for the GDB manual that fixes this.  (I sent 
it to Stan Shebs for approval).

I asked Karl to see if it's possible to have texinfo.tex print some error 
message when this snafu happens, to make it easier to detect the real 
problem.
