The old bug was about out-of-bounds memory access in pinger.
That needed a code fix to Squid sources.


The new build trace you have is showing libltdl errors.
"
../libltdl/.libs/libltdlcS.c:27:12: error: type of 
'dlopen_LTX_get_vtable' does not match original declaration 
[-Werror=lto-type-mismatch]

These can usually be resolve by re-bootstrapping the sources on the 
affected OS.
