Oh, maybe you're thinking that `info inferiors' wouldn't 
work for this until the program was running.  That was true
on 7.0, no longer on 7.1:

 $./gdb
 :
 (gdb) info inferiors
   Num  Description       Executable
 * 1    <null>

 (gdb) file ./gdb
 Reading symbols from /home/pedro/gdb/baseline/build/gdb/gdb...done.

 (gdb) info inferiors
   Num  Description       Executable
 * 1    <null>            /home/pedro/gdb/baseline/build/gdb/gdb

 (gdb) start
 :
 Temporary breakpoint 1, main (argc=1, argv=0x7fffffffe168) at ../../src/gdb/gdb.c:28
 28        memset (&args, 0, sizeof args);

 (gdb) info inferiors
   Num  Description       Executable
 * 1    process 26761     /home/pedro/gdb/baseline/build/gdb/gdb
