Yes. gbr is just a symbolic link to gbx. It allows to run the interpreter in "archive mode" without having to pass an extra argument. This is needed when putting the magic string "#!/usr/bin/env gbr<X>" on top of the executable file, because you can pass only one argument on this line, which is the name of the program when using "env". In other words "gbr" is an hack to workaround a Unix limitation^W feature.
