The old text is more explicit about what you see if the exit code is not available. It would be good to keep that -- i.e., the attribute isn't there if the exit code is not available. The reason for being explicit is that a different way of handling that situation -- and arguably a more "Pythonic" one -- is for the attribute to exist in all cases but have the value None if not applicable. So you might make it:

+An integer representing the exit code, if available, which the inferior
+has returned. (The exit code could be unavailable if, for example,
+@value{GDBN} detaches from the inferior.) If the exit code is
+unavailable, the attribute does not exist.
