Cygwin keeps two versions of gcc around. Plain gcc is "gcc (GCC) 3.2
20020927 (prerelease)". gcc-2 is "2.95.3-10". Look in Cygwin's setup and
install the package named gcc2. I am not sure what category it is under,
though.

Well, there is really no time involved for getting gcc-2 and using it to
compile ddd. Like I said before, I haven't spent much time at all
debugging the ddd <-> gdb interaction. I've also had weird problems with
gdb that no one else seems to have, and I have a few versions lying around
because of custom development. YMMV.
Let me know if you find something and need help debugging.
