There are a couple of nasty errors you can get when compiling ImageMagick.
One of them is the dreaded:
"Macro name blahblahblah cannot be redefined."
This is fixed by appending the following to the CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS:
-qlanglevel=extended

Also, you might get an error due to the use of C++-style comments in straight C files. Gnu compilers (gcc) allow this, and xlc does not. But you can permit it by adding this to CFLAGS:
-qcpluscmt

Hope this helps someone. It took me a while to figure out. I also hope this shows up on the web for googlers. :-)

I'm not done compiling yet, but wanted to send this out to help.
