We currently do regular integration testing with successful results on
Debian Sid, Ubuntu Precise & Saucy & Trusty, CentOS 6 & 7, FreeBSD 9.1
& 10, OpenBSD 5.4, Fedora 19.

Using GCC, clang, and ICC compilers where available.

Other OS usually have good results as well with the exception of
Windows and MacOS where SMP functionality used by Squid is missing or
broken.

FWIW: Old OS releases with older compilers generally work best with
old Squid releases with matching level of compiler support. Not that
such a situation is desirabe for use in todays Internet.

NOTE: For tracking latest Squid in future you will want GCC 4.9+ or
clang 3.4+ compilers. The Squid-3.4+ series build best performance
optimizations with them and 3.6 series about to begin development will
probably require C++11 at some point soon.

PS. personally I am a Debian "fanboi", with Ubuntu a close second.
That comes down to package management tools and their multi-arch
support though.
