gdb accepts a --quiet option, but not its synonym --silent. In /gd/gnu/doc/longopts.table, there's a statement that every program that accepts one should accept the other. Also, the help message says: Use `/usr/local/gnu/bin/gdb.new +help' for a complete list of options. but it should suggest using --help instead of +help, I think.
