I'm sending this to the list so it will get archived and google will help
others where it didn't help me.
I got this mail from Andrew Gaylard (one of ddd's developers) after sending a
question about the compile issue to ddd_at_gnu.org (This is the whole mail):
This was a mistake; these files are now part of 3.3.9-testX.
Andrew.

But after doing so I found out it's a bit more complicated:
I had to add/replace the following headers with the equivalents from
ddd-3.3.9-test2:
xregex.h xregex2.h safe-ctype.h demangle.h dyn-string.h md5.h libiberty.h
ansidecl.h fibheap.h sort.h splay-tree.h ternary.h
And replace the file ddd/rxscan.C with it's equivalent from ddd-3.3.9-test2.
But this left me with compile errors that I solved by editing libiberty.h, at
line 257, I replaced the following line:
extern const unsigned char _hex_value[_hex_array_size];
with:
extern const char _hex_value[_hex_array_size];
Now ddd compiles!
P.S
I'm still wondering whether I had to replace the file ddd/rxscan.L with it's
equivalent, but I guess time will tell...(-:
