+---------------
+
+Due to a kernel bug (kern/35175), detaching from an attached process
+will very likely cause the process to be stop or die with a Trace/BPT
+trap.

+i386-*-freebsd[34]*
+-------------------
+
+There is a bug (bin/41671) in FreeBSD's gcc that causes it to emit bad
+debug information when using the stabs format (which is the default).
+As a result GDB tends to place breakpoints on functions before the
+function prologue, and information about function parameters and local
+variables is lost.  In earlier versions of GDB the effects were rather
+limited, but starting with GDB 5.3 the influence is much more
+prominent.  As a workaround, compile your code with -gdwarf-2.
