FYI. I just completed building it on my AIX 5.3 system - and using xlc
v11. As I mentioned in my earlier email use CC=xlc and these issues go away.

To see what is changed examine the contents of the file appropriate for
your system level:

root at x064:[/data/prj/openbsd/openssh/openssh-8.2p1]ls -l /etc/vac*
-rw-r--r--    1 bin      bin           37731 Aug 02 2018  /etc/vac.cfg.53
-rw-r--r--    1 bin      bin           39672 Aug 02 2018  /etc/vac.cfg.61
-rw-r--r--    1 bin      bin           39681 Aug 02 2018  /etc/vac.cfg.71
-rw-r--r--    1 bin      bin           39611 Aug 02 2018  /etc/vac.cfg.72
