http://sunsite.rediris.es/sites2/ibiblio.org/linux/devel/debuggers/ddd/ddd-static-2.0-1.i386.rpm
It was at least available in 1996/10 (cf
http://oldwww.losurs.org/docs/rhlibrary/cola/volume96/Oct/961007.11)

$ usr/bin/ddd-2.0-i586-unknown-linux-static

DDD 2.0 (i586-unknown-linux), by Dorothea Lütkehaus and Andreas Zeller.
