That is very old... yet, it may not be the problem

Yet I have (on windows) still some success using gdb 5.2

The IDE indeed has a problem with "elf64-x86-64-freebsd ", it only knows 
"elf64-x86-64". The suffix throws the IDE off.
Yet that again should not lead to an error. It may however stop the IDE 
from getting exception class/message and other details...

Might be the old gdb. But again should be recovered. This is one of 
several attempts of the IDE to get the PID. Not sure if all others 
failed too. If so, then that could have caused the error.

There is a possibility that your GDB is localized. In that case the IDE 
can not understand all the replies...

I need a more complete log.
Please start the IDE with

|   --debug-log=/home/yourname/laz.log --debug-enable=DBG_CMD_ECHO,DBG_STATE,DBG_DATA_MONITORS,DBGMI_QUEUE_DEBUG,DBGMI_TYPE_INFO,DBG_WARNINGS
And supply the new log file

---------------
In the mean time in the debugger options, there is "InternalStartBreak", 
you may try other values. But I can not tell, if it will help...
