I am not sure you are doing that, but, just in case, you should not be
modifying Makefiles (or any other files generated by ./configure)
manually. You should convince ./configure to select clang instead.

I suggest using update-alternatives(1) to switch between gcc and clang
compilers (or between gcc versions). It may be a bit difficult to get
working initially, but works well once you figure out the right
commands. Please note that you should be switching both C and C++
compilers at the same time (i.e., both should come from either GCC or
clang). Search the web for more detailed instructions -- your "how to
switch from gcc to clang on Debian 10" question/problem is not specific
to Squid.

If you are using update-alternatives already, you may want to share your
commands, their output, and the corresponding ./configure output.
