I can't help you with sourceware.org: I have the same access permissions 
as you have. Maybe try contacting sourcemaster at sourceware dot org.

However I see you are trying the latest insight official release, which 
is very old and outdated: please try git cloning my own version from 
https://github.com/monnerat/insight (in sync with gdb repo < 1 week). 
I've compiled and run it this morning on Linux with success. I succeeded 
with cygwin and mingw32 on W$ a few months ago. I am not a W$ guy, so 
the support I can bring for your case is limited.
It's unofficial but I think this is the most up-to-date you'll find on 
the net. In any case, you'll have more chance with it that with 6.8.1.

Good luck,
