Squid 1.1.21 includes a workaround to this problem, so if you upgrade
your Squid sources to this version then it should compile on RH5.

To manually work around it using a older squid release:

base$ make distclean
bash$ export ac_cv_func_resuid=no
bash$ ./configure ...
bash$ make install

The problem is caused by a version mismatch between libc and the kernel.
libc exports the function but it is not implemented in 2.0.X kernels.
