The pronoun that takes the place of the compound noun 'gingerbread man' is it.

Example: Would you like a gingerbread man? I made it myself.

In cases where there is Anthropomorphism (making an animal or object a person) in a story a gingerbread man may be presented as a sentient being and for the purpose of the story be referred to as "he". Example "The magic gingerbread man ran out of the shop as he was afraid of being eaten."

Can the word man be used as indefinite pronoun?

No, the word man is a noun, not a pronoun. The pronouns that take the place of 'man' in a sentence are 'he' as the subject of a sentence or clause; and 'him' as the object of a verb or a preposition. Any indefinite pronoun for a person can take the place of any noun for a man, such as one, anyone, some, someone, anyone, everyone, etc.
