If it just moves stuff around without changing any actual content
(menus don't count), then it doesn't need to be reviewed, once we
agree on the restructuring itself (which is fine with me).

I have a couple of comments, which are probably to the text that was
already in the manual (so it is up to you whether to fix them):

> +@file{@var{OBJFILE}-gdb.@var{EXT}} and the @code{.debug_gdb_scripts}

Please don't use upper case in @var, it looks ugly in print.

> +section of modern file formats like @samp{ELF}.

"ELF" is not a programming language symbol, so doesn't need @samp.
Use either @acronym{ELF} or @sc{elf} or just ELF with no markup.

> +@menu
> +* objfile-gdb.ext file::         The @file{@var{objfile}-gdb.@var{ext}} file

Node names cannot contain periods, this confuses some Info readers.

> +For @value{GDBN} command files @xref{Auto-loading sequences}.
> +For Python files @xref{Python Auto-loading}.

@xref is inappropriate in the middle of a sentence, because it
produces a capitalized "Note".  Use @pxref or "see @ref" instead.

"NULL", right?

Thanks.
