Nope, it is a bug in Squid's configure script. It recognizes FreeBSD
10.x and later as FreeBSD 1.x, causing it to disable pthreads support.
This leads to the required DiskThreads module being disabled too. It
then crashes when it tries to access a NULL pointer returned by
DiskIOModule::Find("DiskThreads"), in src/fs/ufs/UFSSwapDir.cc:
Fs::Ufs::UFSSwapDir::UFSSwapDir(char const *aType, const char *anIOType) : SwapDir(aType), IO(NULL), map(new FileMap()), suggest(0), swaplog_fd (-1), currentIOOptions(new ConfigOptionVector()), ioType(xstrdup(anIOType)), cur_size(0), n_disk_objects(0)
{
/* modulename is only set to disk modules that are built, by configure,
* so the Find call should never return NULL here.
*/
IO = new Fs::Ufs::UFSStrategy(DiskIOModule::Find(anIOType)->createStrategy());
}
Very bad coding practice, obviously. It should call Find() first, and
if that returns NULL, it should abort in some sort of controlled way.
In any case, the cause is the following fragment in the configure
script:
freebsd)
if test `echo "$squid_host_os_version" | cut -b1` -lt 7 ; then
{ $as_echo "$as_me:${as_lineno-$LINENO}: pthread library requires FreeBSD 7 or later" >&5
$as_echo "$as_me: pthread library requires FreeBSD 7 or later" >&6;}
squid_opt_use_diskthreads="no"
else

I have attached a tentative patch for the port. However, this causes
the configure script logic to run a little differently, and there is
some sort of very strange bug in it, that leads to the SQUID_CFLAGS and
SQUID_CXXFLAGS values being mangled in the default case.
With my patch the DiskThreads detection runs again, but the variables
are not mangled anymore, and this leads to -Werror being enabled again,
causing errors about deprecated kerberos5 functions later on in the
build.
For now, I would not bother with -Werror and Squid, but just add
--disable-strict-error-checking to CONFIGURE_ARGS in the Makefile.
That is, until somebody with autoconf knowledge can fix the badly broken
configure script...

Yes, please don't use gdb in base for anything serious. Use ports gdb
instead. :-)
