Hi!  Thanks for the report.

Ouch.  Libidn checks whether -fdiagnostics-show-option is supported by
the compiler before using it, but it seems this parameter has another
meaning for xlc compared to gcc.  As a work around, you can build libidn
using 'make WARN_CFLAGS=' to avoid passing these extra flags to the
compiler.

I'm not sure how to fix this cleanly.  Ideas welcome.  I'll try to think
about it as well.
