FWIW (and I don't know if you are doing this), I *never* build in the
source directory. I always maintain the integrity of the pristine
source. The FAQ on the website covers this.

Yeah -- insight *is* gdb, and as long as Chris or Corinna or one of the
other in-the-knows keeps releasing gdb, the gdb package will always
include insight.

I can only think of one thing off the top of my head: IPC. Is it
attempting to accept connections on port tcp/9909? If so, it's because
Insight is opening a server socket which allows multiple insight
instances to communicate with each other.
You can disable this be unsetting "gdb/ipc/enabled" in
src/gdb/gdbtk/library/prefs.tcl or in your preference file (~/.gdbtkinit
or ~/gdbtk.ini).
