That might be possible, but it will be a very manual process. The 
problem is that Insight requires gdb's config.h and several other 
build-generated files.

If you have a build of gdb lying around that you want to use, simply 
drop in the missing insight bits and that would probably work (make sure 
insight is of a similar vintage as gdb -- gdb changes rapidly and often 
incompatibly). You'll need the tcl, tk, itcl directories (if you are not 
using system-supplied versions), libgui, and gdb/gdbtk directories, too.
