Your Texinfo is fine.

There's some snafu in the latest version of gdb.texinfo in the CVS on
the trunk.  Jim, it seems that your commit, which created version
1.50, is the culprit: the text you commited is broken, it looks like
some lines just disappeared.  See the fragment below.

In addition, the new Overlays section is not mentioned at all in the
log message.

This is a known problem with the Readline docs.  We don't maintain
that, so we just inherit what Readline developers produce.  This is
just a warning, and it's harmless.

Here's the part of the Overlays section which causes the trouble.  As
you see, it's completely broken:


Overlays introduce a number of complications:
@itemize bullet

@item
Since you cannot have all your overlays loaded at once, 


This will probably overwrite the
previous overlay loaded in that space; you will need to re-load 




modify your main program such that, before it calls a function located
in an overlay, it first copies that overlay from the large memory into
the instruction memory.
