you need to add --enable-gdbtk when configuring, you should then get 3 
binaries (assuming everything went well) insight (gui), gdb (cli)and 
gdbtui(curses interface)

Sometimes it just takes a little perseverance. I've recently managed to 
successfully built insight 6.1 with gdb 6.3 patched in for native 
windows host and arm-elf target using msys/mingw. The latest gdb from 
CVS head now builds with this enviroment with minimal patching - still 
having a bit of trouble convincing it to add Insight but I'll get there 
in the end.
