I thought at first - based on the error message that it might be the
SCM_I_GSC_NEED_BRACES_ON_PTHREAD_ONCE_INIT directive - since that
defines as "1" on AIX and "0" on Linux - but changing that in
config.status and running it, and then trying a make  made no
difference. Likewise changing the define for AIX 3 of _ALL_SOURCE to
'undef' gave no joy.

Since the error was in discouraged.c - I tried configuring and compiling
--disable-discouraged and got:

deprecated.c: In function 'scm_i_object_chars':
deprecated.c:663: warning: implicit declaration of function 'SCM_SYMBOLP'
deprecated.c: In function 'scm_i_keywordsym':
deprecated.c:1239: warning: implicit declaration of function 
'scm_keyword_dash_symbol'
deprecated.c:1239: warning: return makes pointer from integer without a cast
gmake[3]: *** [libguile_la-deprecated.lo] Error 1

Trying with --disable-discouraged and --disable-deprecated brought me
back to the original error in the same place - which baffles me since I
wasn't expecting a --disable to still reference discouraged.c

Trying your suggestion of just adding the "libguile/_scm.h" include gave
this error on compile:

gc.c:974: error: expected ';', ',' or ')' before '.' token
gc.c: In function 'scm_init_gc':
gc.c:1023: error: 'mark_gc_async' undeclared (first use in this function)
gc.c:1023: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
gc.c:1023: error: for each function it appears in.)

Still baffled - but haven't given up yet.  Still walking through the
diffs in config.h
