there have been reports about using gnupg under aix in the past.  my
current impression is that the version of gcc that one uses to compile
gnupg may make a different -- 2.7.3.x and 2.95 (and above) were
recommended.  i also got the impression that using gnu make might
help.

look in the september archives for 1999:

  http://lists.gnupg.org/gnupg-users-199909/threads.html

for a thread titled "Unable to compile on AIX 4.2.1".

if i understood the discussion correctly, one person did not have any
success compiling:

  Darren Henderson <darren@bmv.state.me.us>

while there appear to be two people who did manage:

  Werner Koch <wk@gnupg.org> 
  Michael Roth <mroth@nessie.de> 

good luck.
