Thanks, it finally worked :)

This is the only other one.  Once I deleted the comma, I was able to compile 
Bogofilter without errors.

source='bogoconfig.c' object='bogoconfig.o' libtool=no \
depfile='.deps/bogoconfig.Po' tmpdepfile='.deps/bogoconfig.TPo' \
depmode=aix /bin/sh ../depcomp \
xlc_r -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.  -I./dcdflib/doc 
-I/homes/home1/mterlo1/include  -DBOGOFILTER -g  -c `test -f 'bogoconfig.c' || 
echo './'`bogoconfig.c
"lexer.h", line 31.11: 1506-046 (S) Syntax error.
make[3]: *** [bogoconfig.o] Error 1


----------------------------------

So the process for compiling Bogofilter on this particular machine was:
- Install BerkeleyDB in my $HOME
- Untar bogofilter
- set CC to xlc_r
- configure --prefix=$HOME --with-db=$HOME
- delete the troubling commas in common.h and lexer.h
- run make
- run make install

I don't know why xlc_r has to be used to compile.  If you want I can send you 
the config.log from BerkeleyDB, which will indicate at what point it decided 
to use xlc_r instead of gcc.

Thanks, Matthias and David, for the help :D
