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.
