It is in gdb.texinfo now.

Thanks. http://sourceware.org/gdb/current/onlinedocs/gdb/Index-Section-Format.html I hope that resolves Roland's doubts about the usefulness of parsing/outputting this section with eu-readelf.

It was already useful BTW. We found out gdb was outputting bad/redundant CU indexes by inspecting the output produced by eu-readelf. Which Tom already fixed. http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2011-04/msg00224.html
