Yes, the GFDL usage guidelines on www.gnu.org clearly say GFDL itself
shouldn't be marked invariant since its text already prohibits its
modifcation.

There's no reason to hate @multitable, IMHO, it's just that the GDB
manual abuses it: it tries to squeeze too much information into a
table, and the table items have too many @code markup in them, so TeX
cannot break the lines in a useful way.  Unfortunately, I don't know
enough about the related subject matter (the remote protocol) to
rewrite that table.

Thanks, I will fix it.

Andrew, I don't know whether I should bother checking in these changes
on the branch anymore, what with your intent to release v5.2 from the
trunk.  Please advise.
