I'm afraid this isn't going to constitute a .diff, but here are
problems that I noted with the file version I downloaded.
What I ended up downloading was the latest version of gdb.texinfo
and of all-cfg.texinfo from your CVSWeb interface. These I combined
with old versions of the readline doc (so I won't comment on that part yet).
What is the next version going to be - 4.19, or 5.0?

I would prefer having the line
"Printed copies are available for $20 each."
eliminated (so that we can change the price someday).

This is too long for @smallbook format. Break after "stopping" with a "\"?

Too long. Replace @example with @smallexample?
Still a little long, but maybe we can live with it.

Again, still long - break somehow?

line 9199-9223:
Parts of this multitable just don't work in @smallbook. @multitable
and @smallbook don't mix well. If you want to keep the multitable,
perhaps someone could redo this section and make a patch for use when
@smallbook is used?
I will complain to RMS and the Texinfo maintainer about this.
