You are probably using a glibc based Linux system with a 2.0.X kernel
(for example RedHat 5.0) where the setresuid call is exported by libc,
but the systemcall is not implemented in the kernel (it is in 2.1.X).

Quick fix:

make clean
setenv ac_cv_func_setresuid no
./configure
make install

Later Squid distributions will detect this automatically.
