  In my case, I found a way to work around the problem. The following unruly patch will allow it to compile. I don't think it's a "good" solution, as it's clearly a bit crude, but it does work for this one case.

  I post this here so that it will be pulled into the archives and live on.  I'm not suggesting anyone else use it, specifically.  Use at your own risk.
  I haven't tried experimenting with the ssl_crtd yet, so all I know is that it allows it to compile.
  Eliezer, you mention that there is a bug.  What is the bug?  And, it's not clear from the documentation or configure help, if you do not use that configure option to get this external program, is squid able to perform the dynamic SSL cert functionality internally?  If so, I may not need it either.  But, I did want to try for SSLBump + DynamicSslCert…
