  --enable-xmalloc-statistics
                          Show malloc statistics in status page

As it says it adds some xmalloc related statistics to one of the status pages
(cachemgr). Would not recommend using this in production as it is mostly
intended for developers analyzing the memory usage of Squid.

  --with-pthreads Use POSIX Threads

Makes Squid to be compiled with the POSIX threads package (pthreads). Required
by some other addons such as aufs.

  --with-dl Use dynamic linking

Makes Squid to be compiled with the dynamic linking package. Required by some
addons such as SSL on some platforms.
