I fetched the latest SVN version , now compilation goes on properly (after
having locally patched lib/gis/plot.c for the nearest() name collision).
Result:

"sqlp.yy.c" 2732 lines, 69277 characters
# include <stdio.h>
# include <stddef.h>
# include <locale.h>
# include <stdlib.h>
# define U(x) ((x)&0377)
# define NCH 4096
# define NLSTATE yyprevious=YYNEWLINE
# define BEGIN yybgin = yysvec + 1 +
# define INITIAL 0
# define YYLERR yysvec
# define YYSTATE (yyestate-yysvec-1)
# define YYOPTIM 1
# define YYLMAX 2000
...

This looks now fine, thanks for the flag cleanup.

The rest of the compilation fails due to the outdated and hence incomplete
Python installation on the AIX cluster I am testing on:

python
Python 2.3.4 (#1, Aug  9 2005, 15:34:25) [C] on aix5

There is probably not much we can do about it since this Python version is
far from the minimum requirements.

However, I think that this exercise is done since we cannot gain more
on AIX 5.3. I hope that the code is AIX 7 ready at this point.

I have documented the compilation steps here:

http://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Talk:Compile_and_Install
-> AIX compilation hints
   (configuration scripts for wget, PROJ4, GDAL, GRASS 6, and GRASS 7)

http://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Compile_and_Install#AIX
-> GRASS 7: Using the IBM xlc compiler
-> GRASS 7: Using the GNU gcc compiler

Ivan, could you please update from GRASS 7 SVN and try again?
