Squid-4 will require C++11 support for some of the features only added
later in the language development. Which means 4.9 is the oldest which
will build fully.

YMMV when using 4.8, though expect some problems. Almost all available
4.7 release though will break due to missing C++11 features in the stdlib.

If you need older compilers, I am planning to continue support for 3.5
series a while longer than we normally would so the RHEL family of OS
get a better chance to upgrade. All other OS Squid builds on will have
sufficient compiler support in their stable releases by the time squid-4
comes out (or do already).
