Don't know about the specific error, but it looks like something failed 
to install into PREFIX/etc. If you're just trying to build insight/gdb, 
and you don't care about the stuff in etc (which insight and gdb don't), 
you can "work around" this problem by using the make target 
"install-gdb". FWIW, I usually only use "make all-gdb" and "make 
install-gdb" when I build, which is why I've never noticed this.

If you do care, or you just want to notify someone that something might 
be amiss, src/MAINTAINERS will list the person/mailing list to contact.
