Hmm. I'm afraid I can't say much more than I did to the other poster 
experiencing build problems. I know "It works for me" isn't particularly 
helpful, but I can do little more.

I'm building on Win2k using Cygwin 1.5.16(0.128/4/2) using gcc 3.3.3 
(cygwin special) [aka the setup-supplied compiler].

What are you using?

BTW, I don't know if any one builds insight for cygwin with any 
regularity. I'm a linux user, and I don't often turn on my 500MHz cygwin 
PC. Insight "releases" are tied to GDB releases: insight is 
automatically released when GDB is. I have no say about when an insight 
release is made. I simply make the tarball and play with linux a bit.
