That message is from gdb, rather than DDD. It indicates you are on a system
whose C runtime library contains symbols to support debugging (i.e. it has
not been stripped), but you do not have the sources to the C library
installed. This occurs e.g. on Red Hat Linux. IMHO there is no reason for
the regular C runtime library to contain debugging symbols and I'm happy
that the distribution I use (Debian GNU/Linux) does not include them.

It is hardly a problem, more like an annoyance. The proper place to get it
fixed is your distribution vendor.
