Yes you need 5.2.1 or above.

/dev/ttyS0 ?
That is device for serial com/port under GNU/Linux
Are you trying to do some serial debugging on Linux?
The "/dev/ttyS0" is part of the "GDB Server" debugger.
Use the normal "GDB Debugger" or use the appropriate serial device
for a Solaris box.

5.3 should work ok. The issues are with registers certain bugs were introduce
in gdb in that version. But the latest CDT/GDBMI tries the best it can to cope with it.
Also note that suspend does not work well(if at all) for Solaris gdb, there
was not enough pressure or resources to fix this. Note, a PR was fill
in GDB gnats mailing list.
