Quick fix: in squid.h remove the lines where it redefines FD_SETSIZE. Then
underneath all the includes do a #define FD_SETSIZE SQUID_MAXFD
make clean, and ignore the warnings from now on.

Nope. It appears there are differences in the use of FD_SETSIZE between
OS's. Some define it to be less than they can actually cope with. Some
define it to be more than they cope with per-process.
The proper solution AFAICT is for Duane to make it OS-specific, since
nothing else can accurately tell. And don't use FD_SETSIZE to determine how
many files can be opened - instead use SQUID_MAXFD. i.e. do #ifdef
_SQUID_LINUX_ or suchlike. The alternative is that squid under some OS's may
break depending on how badly squid reacts to suddenly running out of
descriptors without notice.
