Is there a possibility to compile for mips2_fp_le? Can
mips-unknown-elf be used for that?
Good question -- I don't know! You should ask on the gdb@ list if gdb
can be configured for your target. [Insight is the gui on top of gdb:
if gdb can debug it, Insight should also be able to.]
2. Is it possible to build for a Windows host and a Linux target? I
would like to know if I can run Insight on a Win32 platform and using
it to debug an embedded Linux system.
While I've never tried it, I would guess that it is possible. Again,
your best bet is to ask the gdb folks. I haven't built/used anything
but linux native for a long time (occasionally cygwin native).

In the mean time, I've asked for help on the GBD list. There, I came to
know that there are more targets available then what "./config.sub"
suggests.
In my very situation, I ran the command "./config.sub mips" and I "only"
got mips-unknown-elf as feedback. But there is also mips-linux and so on.
So, my question is now: why is ./config.sub not giving me all
possibilities when I give "mips" as a part of the target string? What
exactly can I expect when running ./config.sub?
Best rgds,
