My guess is that AIX's /usr/include/syslog.h includes varargs.h.
There is a little hack that used to prevent it:

        #if STDC_HEADERS
        #include <stdarg.h>
        #else
        #include <varargs.h>
        #endif

        /* Make sure syslog goes after stdarg/varargs */
        #ifdef HAVE_SYSLOG_H
        #ifdef _SQUID_AIX_
        #define _XOPEN_EXTENDED_SOURCE
        #endif
        #include <syslog.h>
        #endif

Apparently defining _XOPEN_EXTENDED_SOURCE doesn't help for all
versions of AIX. Maybe there is another magic symbol?
