(4.8) shows the following warnings:

-----------------
These are thrown by expressions like `@var{[host]}`, intended to
produce `[HOST]`.
In that context this should instead be changed to `[@var{host}]`, which
has the same effect but without the warnings.
As for the warning in `python.texi`, there's period missing at the end
of one `@xref{}` clause. Added.
gdb/doc/ChangeLog:
2020-04-15 Artur Shepilko <nomadbyte@gmail.com>
* gdb.texinfo: Transform @var{[host]} to [@var{host}]; this
clears makeinfo warnings.
* python.texi: Add a missing period trailing an @xref{} clause;
this clears a makeinfo warning.
