The -o options is supposed to be passed once, and it is used for the first input file only. In case there are multiple ones, only the last one is used (this could change in the future). So, in your case, eat.info is used as output file for fdl.texi, then gpl.texi is processed with the default output file name, which happens to be gpl.info and last eat.texi is processed and the default output name is used too, which is
eat.info.

When you specify /dev/null as the first texinfo manual, the same happen, but the first manual going to eat.info as specified by the last -o is an empty manual read from /dev/null, and all the manuals geet their default
output names.

Thank you for the clarification.
