The problem is that IBM changed the header files in such a way that gcc
doesn't like them. Note that there's a step in the gcc build process
that creates a customized version of headers to work with the particular
OS version on the build machine, which probably isn't AIX 5.3. Most
likely, the header files in /usr/include are combining badly with gcc's
idea of the corrected version.
You don't say which version of gcc you're using, but a very good bet is
to get the gcc source code and build it yourself; the fixincludes step
will have a fighting chance to Do The Right Thing for 5.3 ML2.
Oh, and let IBM know that you want gcc to work better on AIX.
