Build fail for versions squid-3.0.STABLE21 and later on IBM PowerPC64

Hi
This is my first post to such a list so please go easy with me. I have
a problem compiling any release after version squid-3.0.STABLE20 on
IBM Power ppc64 running Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant
Update 8).
I have been using Squid on this platform for about 5 years and been
compiling previous releases without any issues.
The key errors I am seeing are displayed in the back end of the log
extract below and seem to relate to "rfc1738.c: In function
`rfc1738_unescape'" and the warnings generated.
Compiler is gcc version 3.4.6 20060404 (Red Hat 3.4.6-11).

I get the same for squid-3.0.STABLE21, squid-3.0.STABLE22,
squid-3.0.STABLE23, squid-3.0.STABLE24 and squid-3.0.STABLE25.
Squid-3.1.1 also will not compile for me.

Any help on getting these working would be gratefully received.

Thanks
Steve
