Done.

Primarily this whole manual section is pointless.  IMO it was already
inappropriate during its initial check-in as the "save gdb-index" is never
going to be executed by GDB user.  GDB users use /usr/bin/gdb-add-index .
But that is now shipped only as gdb/contrib/gdb-add-index.sh .
	FYI: revert gdb-add-index

Fedora ships it on its own, also with a man page:

Done.

Done.
