Re: client on freebsd over tramp server on archlinux

I have been trying to get more details about the issue:

I have testing with this source code:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
// cc -o borrame.bin borrame.c
#include <stdio.h>

static void myfunct() {
  printf("test") ;
}

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {

  myfunct();
}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

On Arch this is the global --version output:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

On FreeBSD this is the global --version output:

On Arch and on FreeBSD if I try it locally on both boxes it "Works".

This is the file listing of  Arch:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

This is the file listing on FreeBSD:

If I try global over tramp on both of them {ie emacs runninng on Arch
and being the target FreeBSD}. It fails with:

How Could I try from cli the equivalent to this line? {global-client}:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(call-process gtags-global-command nil t nil option "--encode-path=\"
\t\"" tagname)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---


Could the error be caused by a version mismatch?. How could I discard It. 

Any tips or ideas on how to nail this issue?

Best Regards
