Another option is to check the site where you got the software (ddd).  If
they provide the option of working with cygwin then they may also have
hints for building it.

Another option is to just use the 'insight' debugger which provides a
graphical debugger.

The final suggestion is to read http://cygwin.com/problems.html.  The
original email has many of the earmarks of the "don'ts" advice on this
page.
