I will NOT revert my gcc to 3.2.  If it can not be done with the current
gcc, then it is not worth fixing.  Also, this should have nothing to
do with the error I received.

I don't doubt it.  You are using old buggy software to compile/link with.
Either use current stuff, or don't expect support.

I will get back to this if/when I have time.  But to the casual glance, my
problem appears to be missing include files for libiberty in ddd (ie, a
ddd bug).
