Re: [squid-users] Squid In Redhat 7.1

Have you tried a newer GCC revision? I've found that I can't even build
an i686 version of Squid 2.4 on the Red Hat 7.1 compiler. It fails with
an internal compiler error--not a good sign, or a confidence building
occurence.

Using 2.95 works, as does 3.x, I think. I've upgraded to 2.96-95 (from
Rawhide), which still fails on a i686 build, but seems to run stable.
