If I were you, I would check what make is used, and install gmake if necessary and give it a try...
You seem to not be the only one struggling with this issue under AIX...

I always thought make was just a shortcut of sorts to run the compiler you set in the CC variable with all of its build time switches/flags set by configure. (That may be incorrect, that is just how it has always seemed to me). Here is the output from gcc -v:

Code:

gcc version 4.2.0

I have tried building with both cc=gcc and cc=cc and it is the same. I will download and try gmake, have never used it before so that will be a learning experience. Thanks for the information

I don't know if you got an answer on this yet, but I've been working with at getting samba compiled on AIX also. AIX 6.1.

Once you run ./configure, you should be left with a Makefile-noincludes file. Then you can do

make -f Makefile-noincludes

I believe you can also do:
./autogen.sh
then
make

However on my system, autogen.sh seems to not find libiconv and a bunch of other things. So I seem to have better luck doing a straight configure/make.

I do admit however that I have still got something not quite right with my config options as winbind still has problems loading idmap_rid.

Nonetheless, here is what I have so far:

./configure \
--with-libsmbclient \
--with-libtdb \
--with-libaddns \
--with-ads \
--with-winbind \
--with-ldap \
--with-wbclient \
--enable-socket-wrapper \
--enable-nss-wrapper \
--with-winbind \
--with-shared-modules=idmap_rid \
--includedir=/opt/pware/include \
CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/pware/include -Xlinker -brtl" \
LDFLAGS=-L/opt/pware/lib
