When FreeBSD 9 was released, and the development tree thus became FreeBSD 10, a lot of applications broke. GNU autotools considered a FreeBSD version number starting with 1 as FreeBSD 1.
Historical note: FreeBSD1 was rebased after the AT&T lawsuit on top of the unencumbered Berkeley release as FreeBSD2. To run FreeBSD1, you probably still need an AT&T UNIX license.
