I don't know what exactly is going wrong on the Freebsd gdb. And I 
havent used FreeBSD in a long time...

Where did he 6.1 debugger come from? Lazarus does not include GDB except 
on windows (afaik).

I am surprised that Freebsd 9 should by default have such an old GDB.

Also, there must be something different about that GDB, since on Windows 
GDB 5.2 does work....
