You can essentially ignore this problem.  The libbfd info files are only 
 useful for developers who want to get deep into the internals of the 
BFD library and they will almost certainly want to use their own, 
separate binutils installation.

If you really care, you could try using the "--infodir=<path>" configure 
option to set up an alternative directory to use when building and 
installing gdb and then copy over only the info files you really require 
to the proper info directory.
