OK, here is the solution:
1) Create a new compiler-stanza for bsdcc in /etc/xlc.cfg as described in
   /usr/lpp/bos/bsdport and link /bin/xlc to /bin/bsdcc.
2) Run the elm Configure-script. Tell him to use bsdcc instead of cc at the
   point "...cc options... [cc] ? "
   At the end of Configure do a shell-escape and change termlib to -lcurses.
   End the shell-escape and complete Configure.
3) make it. Some warnings occure, but I ignored them.

I think thats all. Thanks to the following people for the hints:
