Step no 2 (copying the gcc include files) is no longer necessary
as it is subsumed by the diff. So all that needs done to get a
working ddd is:

1. cp -r ddd-3.3.8 ddd-3.3.8-orig
2. wget http://bellsouthpwp.net/u/l/ulvester/ddddiffs.gz
   gunzip -c ddddiffs.gz | patch -p0
3. cd ddd-3.3.8 && bash ./configure && make && make install

Thanks to all who got this fixed so quickly, esp to Richard.

Will it be possible to get this into cygwin's setup.exe?

Thanks
