It looks like most of the syntax errors are caused by C++ style comments in supportrev.c (i.e. //... instead of /* .... */).
I don't know if this applies to your AIX/xlc version, but there seems to be a -qcpluscmt compiler flag to handle this. Just google for "xlc qcpluscmt". Moreover, try changing line 3356 of "support.c" from int dt = in->tag - AR_FIELD_OFFSET; to unsigned int dt = in->tag - AR_FIELD_OFFSET; and line 1242 of "supportrev.c" from int len; to STRLEN len; I'll also check in an update to the CVS repository on Sourceforge, which will have these issues fixed.
