It seems xlC has switched to being based on llvm so I think those *are*
the latest version of IBM's compiler:

My bash history on cfarm119 has (untimestamped, but I think I did a test
build earlier this year):

./configure CC=/opt/IBM/xlC/16.1.0/bin/xlc CXX=/opt/IBM/xlC/16.1.0/bin/xlC

Those paths no longer exist though (which seems at odds with your lslpp
output).
