It might not just be the version number.
The lowest version regularly tested is or was till recently 6.3.5 (the 
apple mac edition).
But it is well possible that even older versions still work.

IIRC the problem on freebsd is that some commands returns different 
values. Instead of PID you get a Lightweight thread id, or something, 
and it has a diff abbreviation.
I remember 1 or 2 years back some reports and some changes. But I have 
not tested since. (And I do not know, if those changes apply only to 
certain version of the freebsd gdb.)

Lets start with a log, on whatever gdb you currently have
