I am assuming the LD_LIBRARY_PATH works in AIX as it does elsewhere. Please correct me if this is a bad assumption. EDIT: checked - 5.1 AIX and earlier uses LIBPATH, which may be brought forward to other newer releases. Newer releases use LD_LIBRARY_PATH as I expected.
See if you can successfully run the ldd command as yourself against the compiled program. Try it again as root user.
It could be that LD_LIBRARY_PATH needs to change for your user. The differences in output of the two ldd commands should give you a clue.
As an aside, subverting/reinventing system calls like exit() is generally a poor idea. And it is sometimes done by using replacement shared libraries and/or changing the LD_LIBRARY_PATH order of shared libraries.

EXIT(P) POSIX Programmer's Manual EXIT(P)
NAME
exit - cause the shell to exit
SYNOPSIS
exit [n]
DESCRIPTION
The exit utility shall cause the shell to exit with the exit status specified by the unsigned decimal integer n. If n is specified, but
its value is not between 0 and 255 inclusively, the exit status is undefined.
A trap on EXIT shall be executed before the shell terminates, except when the exit utility is invoked in that trap itself, in which case
the shell shall exit immediately.
OPTIONS
None.
OPERANDS
See the DESCRIPTION.
STDIN
Not used.
INPUT FILES
None.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
None.
ASYNCHRONOUS EVENTS
Default.
STDOUT
Not used.
STDERR
The standard error shall be used only for diagnostic messages.
OUTPUT FILES
None.
EXTENDED DESCRIPTION
None.
EXIT STATUS
The exit status shall be n, if specified. Otherwise, the value shall be the exit value of the last command executed, or zero if no command
was executed. When exit is executed in a trap action, the last command is considered to be the command that executed immediately preceding
the trap action.
CONSEQUENCES OF ERRORS
Default.
The following sections are informative.
APPLICATION USAGE
None.
EXAMPLES
Exit with a true value:
exit 0
Exit with a false value:
exit 1
RATIONALE
As explained in other sections, certain exit status values have been reserved for special uses and should be used by applications only for
those purposes:
126 A file to be executed was found, but it was not an executable utility.
127 A utility to be executed was not found.
>128 A command was interrupted by a signal.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
None.
