Just "gdb -i=mi" is sufficient. From the source code:
/* -nw is equivalent to -i=console. */
so the above is equivalent to:
-i=mi -i=console

From 5.3 on, Insight was made a separate program and the querk of "gdb"
sometimes starting "insight" was eliminated. If you want to be robust
against an old old gdb, try:
-nw -i=mi
