Thanks!

After reading the above I was able to solve the crash problem on HPUX 11 
I reported 19.11.2003 to this list. It seems to be necessary still on 
HP-UX 11 to have the same static linkage "hack".  I was using gcc 3.3.2 
to compile the DDD 3.3.8 and what I did was:

1) gzcat ddd-3.3.8.tar.gz | tar xf -

2) cd ddd-3.3.8

3) I edited the configure script directly by changing the lines 
referenced above to have hpux11.00 and a bit different path. Here is the 
diff:
<hepux1100:/share/wrk/tikkanen/GNU/ddd-3.3.8> diff configure configure.orig
16800,16801c16800,16801
< if test "$host_vendor" = "hp" && test "$host_os" = "hpux11.00"; then
<    XM_LIBS="/usr/lib/libXm.a"

I would guess that for HPUX 11i (aka 11.11) you need to have "hpux11.11" 
there.

4) mkdir hp11

5) cd hp11

6) ../configure --prefix=/share/hppa2.0-hp-hpux11.00/gnu/ddd/3.3.8 
--with-athena-includes=/usr/contrib/X11R6/include 
--with-athena-libraries=/usr/contrib/X11R6/lib

7) make CFLAGS=-O2 CXXFLAGS=-O2 LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/gnu/gcc/3.3.2/lib 
-j4 |& tee ERRORS
NOTE! LDFLAGS has to have the gcc lib path in it here. Otherwise the 
compilation will fail at linkage phase to some basic_stream errors 
(missing symbols).

8) make check
NOW this went OK!

9) make install

And now we have working HPUX 11 version of ddd 3.3.8 installed here too. 
Thanks to everyone who have provided valuable help on this list to solve 
the HPUX 11 problem.
