  Thanks to Arnaud Dessiter for help and pointers.
Here are the steps I suggest for someone
who wants to get ddd up and running on
MS's Mindows 2000, without going through the
current compilation travails:

1. Install cygwin/X from a distribution that has lesstif 0.93.91-4 .
(this has the cygXm-2.dll).  
e.g. http://ftp.udel.edu

2. Download the binary ddd 3.3.8-1 from Harold Hunt's web site:
http://www.egr.msu.edu/~huntharo/cygwin/release/ddd
Unpack this into its own directory.

3. Add ddd's usr/bin directory to the PATH variahle.
I use the default cygwin shell, so this amounts to editing
the .profile in my home directory.

4. To run ddd with gdb, start up the X environment, and type  ddd&
at an xterm prompt.
