I think it is confusing to say "in GCC 3.2" in the manual for a
release of 3.3 or later, that is why I made the change. You're
probably right that the threshold version should be preserved. May I
suggest the wording
FreeBSD 1 has not been supported since GCC 3.2.
or maybe
Support for FreeBSD 1 was discontinued in GCC 3.2.
or removed
or abandoned
Your suggested wording sounds ... not *wrong*, but a bit awkward, to
me anyway.
