This is true, because these options bring you to the command-line
options NODE of the program you asked for. So calling
info --usage gcc
brings you to the "Option Summary" page of gcc.
Since you call info without any program=info page to show, it cannot
show you any cmd line options.
Closing this bug.
Best wishes
