Your decisions are all fine with me.

Upper-case "GDB", please.

Please give "zlib" the @samp markup (i.e., @samp{zlib}), here and
elsewhere in the text you wrote.

Also, an index entry here would be a good idea.  Something like:

  @cindex compressed debug sections

                                             ^^^^^
"such as"

Other than that, this can go in.  Thanks!
