I'm not sure what you mean.  I looked in gdb.texinfo, and all I see for 
"--core" there is this:

   @item -core @var{file}
   @itemx -c @var{file}
   @cindex @code{--core}
   @cindex @code{-c}
   Use file @var{file} as a core dump to examine.

This doesn't describe --core twice, and doesn't use @item -c twice.
