I don't see LD, or LDFLAGS there, a quick look at your logs shows
failures for ld -r, hmm, we don't use LDFLAGS for reloadable objects,
you'd need to set LD="ld -b64" ...

On AIX, when building 64bit, try setting OBJECT_MODE=64  and export the
env var, then nm, ar, ld etc will default to 64 bit mode.
