That doesn't seem to work for me:
nickrob/47 src/gdb/gdb -q myprog
Using host libthread_db library "/lib/tls/libthread_db.so.1".
(gdb) info line
No line number information available.
(gdb) info source
No current source file.
I do "list main" but that doesn't work for languages lik Ada.

The same could be said for -stack-list-frames and backtrace,
-stack-list-locals and "info locals" etc.
