I don't think there are many other credible alternatives; the subcommand should be a single short word, with the rest of the work to be done by subsubcommands and/or arguments. "info unix" or "info posix" would qualify, but historically we've tended to avoid using those terms in GDB commands, and one could argue that they have the same vagueness/overloading issue that "os" does.
