Did you look in the source distribution on ftp.gnu.org, or somewhere
else? I just looked in the GDB 5.0 distribution as downloaded from
the GNU site, and the Info files are there in gdb/doc directory.
I believe the GNU standards require that source distributions come
with Info files, so that end users won't need to run `makeinfo' to
produce them.
In addition, the *diff.bz2 files for the snapshots include diffs for
the *.info* files as well. So it seems that you should have had the
Info files in the source directory. Can you try to understand why you
didn't have them?
