Thanks. A few minor comments about the documentation patch:

I think there's a "be" missing at the spot I marked.

Please put "pending breakpoint", just this once, in @dfn{}, so that it
stands out. (This is generally a good practice when introducing new
terminology.)

I'd rephrase this slightly:

When @value{GDBN} cannot find the breakpoint location, it queries
you whether a pending breakpoint should be created.

Otherwise, it can go in when the code patch is approved.
