If you pass configure the flag "--without-readline", does gmake check
succeed?  If it does and you need readline capabilities in the copy of
psql on your AIX box, there are a few options:

  0) use libedit (patching postgres' configure scripts is required
     unless readline is removed from the server)
  1) installing readline 5.0 and replacing your standard 4.3 build
  2) relinking your existing libreadline so that it doesn't export
     strncpy and other functions that it shouldn't
  3) use an external readline wrapper around the readline-less psql

By the way, which maintenance level is your server at?
