Actually cd ~/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT
	 mkdir -p arm-eabi/insight-7.4.50
	 cd arm-eabi/insight-7.4.50

I see the same error. Doing this instead allows it to build as is:
~/rpmbuild/BUILD/insight-7.4.50/configure --with-system-readline 
--target=arm-eabi -v 2>&1 | tee configure.out

The problem is that one of the patches to gdb/Makefile takes out the 
path to readline.
If I put it back in it also works w/o the --with-system-readline:
Remove last patch from 
rpmbuild/SOURCES/insight-7.4.50-readline-system.patch.

Are you trying to build an RPM for arm-eabi? I've never built an RPM (or 
maybe once long ago)
so what is the next step? "make install" ?? I use insight with embedded 
arm-eabi constantly but
have made my own custom version that works well from a CVS snapshot and 
codesourery's gdb source.
