I suppose one could consider this a 'bug' with the gdb-3.x releases:

Most of the releases for Gnu products that contain documentation (eg. gcc,
make) come with the .dvi file.  This is tremendously convenient for those of
us who have dvi2ps and a laserwriter but don't have a full TeX system installed
and don't have the time to do it.

Gdb, though supplied with excellent docmentation, does not come with
the .dvi, however.  Can this be included in future releases like the
rest of the products?
