FWIW, I have not seen -Wattributes warnings before and cannot quickly 
figure out what they really mean in your context. There is nothing 
particularly alarming in that Squid code AFAICT.

If you have to use unsupported and buggy Squid v3, consider building it 
with --disable-strict-error-checking. Otherwise, consider switching to 
Squid v6 that more folks may be interested in helping you with.


HTH,
