Sorry for the delay... I've been out of town (yes, I actually took an
airplane), and I'm just getting up to speed again.

Please try checking out the 5.1 branch and building it. Believe me when I
say you'll be much, much happier that you did.

I don't know where the above quote comes from, and it may work, but I
never do it that way. I _always_ build in a separate directory. This keeps
the source directories unaltered, which allows me to build multiple
Insights/gdbs for different targets/hosts.

What does "ls -l /bin/sh" show?
