You have my approval, with one comment: each one of the items in that
@table in gdb.texinfo should be indexed, to facilitate their
discoverability by readers.  E.g., for this item I'd suggest

 @findex exec-run-start-option
 @cindex support for @option{--start} option in @code{-exec-run}

I'd also add an index entry for the entire section

 @cindex supported @sc{gdb/mi} features, list

Thanks.
