Re: [squid-users] Squid Keep Crashing in FreeBSD 4.3

I believe this is the problem experienced by most of the FreeBSD
squid users.
Well, the GCC shipped with the FreeBSD is broken. Do not use
the compiler optimization for the squid compilation. This will cause
to the segmentation fault/memory violations problem.
Try either ways at the following:
(1)
cd /path/to/squid/src/squid-2.4
make distclean
env CFLAGS=-O ./configure
make
make install

(2) go and modify your squid 'configure' script
# Remove optimization for GCC 2.95.[12]
# gcc -O[2] on *BSD and Linux (x86) causes pointers to magically
become NULL
if test "$GCC" = "yes"; then
        GCCVER=`$CC -v 2>&1 | awk '$2 == "version" {print $3}'`
        case "$GCCVER" in
        2.95.[12])
                echo "Removing -O for gcc on $host with GCC
$GCCVER"
                CFLAGS="`echo $CFLAGS | sed -e 's/-O[0-9]*//'`"
                ;;
        esac
fi

change the line:
        2.95.[12])
to
        2.95.[123])

Hope this would help.
