From make_messages:

There is no error message contained in here... Did you by chance redirect stdout
to a file when compiling and forget to redirect stderr?

Nonetheless, bfd.info failed, and I'm going to take a wild guess that your
system doesn't have makeinfo installed. This is in the texinfo package.

From make_install_messages:

/bin/bash ./libtool --tag=CC --mode=compile gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../../src/insight-6.8/bfd -I. -I. -I../../src/insight-6.8/bfd -I../../src/insight-6.8/bfd/../include     -W -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Werror -g -O2 -c -o opncls.lo ../../src/insight-6.8/bfd/opncls.c
libtool: compile:  gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../../src/insight-6.8/bfd -I. -I. -I../../src/insight-6.8/bfd -I../../src/insight-6.8/bfd/../include -W -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Werror -g -O2 -c ../../src/insight-6.8/bfd/opncls.c -o opncls.o
Makefile:1071: recipe for target 'opncls.lo' failed

Again, no error messages here. [It looks like stderr is missing from the output.] However, for this one, I cannot guess off the top of my head what the problem might be.

Insight 6.8? That's *really* old. I would encourage you to clone the GIT repo
[git clone git://sourceware.org/git/insight.git] and build that. That's what I've
been using for several years now.

I don't believe we've done an "official" release in almost ten years. Maybe I should.
