I grepped all of gdb.texinfo, including that particular xref, and saw nothing that would satisfy "where program spaces are described" (or explained). Plus the only reference to program spaces in that particular xref is inside the description of a "maint" command - "[...], when debugging GDB itself, ...". It didn't seem kosher to refer users to sections intended for GDB developers. But no matter, learn something new every day. Thanks.
