In a word, yes.  The AIX XL C Compiler is an ANSI compiler which is included
in AIX Version 3 for Risc System/6000.  The .cfg file has stanzas for xlc and
cc, where xlc has -D_ANSI_C_SOURCE defined and a cc stanza where it handles
extended mode programs.  xlc for ANSI, cc for extended (which I take as a
superset of ANSI).  

Extra disclaimer:  I couldn't find exactly how IBM is describing exactly what
constitutes ANSI (my copy is a draft from May 13,1988.  Did it pass?).  Anyway
it handles prototypes and pragmas and stringize and that ilk - ANSI things.
