I've more or less given up on devel/ddd, since it relies on the old 
pty subsystem, now replaced by the new pts subsystem, to communicate 
with gdb.

I build custom kernels containing "device pty", but I'm not sure if 
that directive is being honoured these days.

It's a shame, 'cos ddd is very good at visualizing data structures.
Maybe it's possible to patch ddd to use pts instead of pty.

Going back to 10.x could be a workaround.
