The changes to gdb.texinfo are approved, but please correct one minor
problem:

> + @tab @code{q}@code{Symbol:}@var{SYMBOL_FILE_NAME}

Please write the arguments of @var{} in lower case.  They will be
converted to upper case by makeinfo, but in the printed manual @var is
typeset with a special font which makes it stand out without upcasing
the text.  (There are several other places which use @var{FOO}.)
