It is available from multiple packages.  Coreutils is one of those
packages, but most distros use another version.  Therefore, if you are
interested in using Coreutils' version of su, you need to specifically
request it at configure time when compiling coreutils on your AIX machine:

$ wget http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/coreutils/coreutils-8.4.tar.xz
$ tar xJvf coreutils-8.4.tar.xz
$ cd coreutils-8.4
$ ./configure --enable-install-program
$ make
$ make install

will give you /usr/local/bin/su that understands -l
