IIRC, this error implies that your compiler does not fully support 
C++17. Squid v6 requires decent C++17 support.

If I am right, then you will need to use a different/modern compiler 
(but consider filing an enhancement request with Squid Bugzilla to 
improve Squid handling of this specific problem -- our ./configure 
should fail with a user-friendly error instead of the current outcome).


HTH,
