Why is it a good idea to remove the @dfn here?

Yes, @pxref should be only in parens, so I think saying "see @ref"
here (without the parens) is a better idea.
As for the replacements of @code and @samp with @env and @option:
please note that this makes the GDB manual incompatible with all
versions of Texinfo except the latest v4.0. Are you sure it's a good
idea to break back-compatibility for no good reason (since they
typeset in the same way)?
