As "ld: 0711-224 WARNING: Duplicate symbol: .bcopy" seems to hit many similar issues across different piece of software, I have a suspicion that AIX folks (as opposed to Git folks) may have a lot better insight to the peculiarity of the platform. Running "make" with "V=1" may show the exact command line that is invoked (it would begin with "gcc ...", I think), which may help diagnosing the issue further.
