IIRC it is not a simple proposition. Squid-4 requires minimum compiler
versions that are not available in those ancient OS. It is often a
simpler proposition to upgrade to RHEL 7+ than to selectively upgrade
the core system libraries for C++11 support and rebuild all the things
using them.

Are you using the system default compiler or something much newer?
