For what it's worth, although Insight may not be "actively" maintained, it
still seems to get periodic attention from Keith Seitz and a few other as
opportunity seems to allow. And believe it or not, basically work fine for
cross target debugging on OSX, and prefer it vs most other's (although it
would be nice to figure out some why to hook Apples Xcode debugger interface
into a cross targeted configured gdb).  So might be worth at least noting
the bug? (may get lucky).
