[squid-users] Build fail for versions squid-3.0.STABLE21 and later on IBM PowerPC64

Hi
This is my first post to such a list so please go easy with me and I
hope I have found the correct place. I have a problem compiling any
release after version squid-3.0.STABLE20 on IBM Power ppc64 running
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 8).
I have been using Squid on this platform for about 5 years and been
compiling previous releases without any issues. I have done the usual
googling and searching of the list but it seems I am unique in
experiencing this problem!

The key errors I am seeing are displayed in the back end of the log
extract below and seem to relate to "rfc1738.c: In function
`rfc1738_unescape'" and the warnings generated relating to comparison
is always false.
Compiler is gcc version 3.4.6 20060404 (Red Hat 3.4.6-11).

I get the same for squid-3.0.STABLE21, squid-3.0.STABLE22,
squid-3.0.STABLE23, squid-3.0.STABLE24 and squid-3.0.STABLE25.
Squid-3.1.1 also will not compile for me.

This suggests to me that lib/rfc1738.c is an area to look at and I
find that the file is different between releases. If I copy the
version from squid-3.0.STABLE20 to squid-3.0.STABLE21 and try again
then the build works. I don’t know what the knock on effect of this
would be but I guess a more permanent fix at source may be possible.

Any help on getting these working without copying source files between
releases would be gratefully received.

Thanks
Steve
