First that is an obsolete version of squid.
Visit: http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/ and grab the 2.6 release at
least.

gcc should be setting that in the OS bash scripts on install.

Your 'C Compiler' (CC) doesn't work/exist? Or maybe it just isn't
installed properly.

1) Remove your hack.
2) See if the newer squid finds it better.
3) does "echo $PATH" give you any hints about the problem?
4) check you can run gcc from the command-line (without needing anything
but "gcc")
5) Try re-installing gcc.
