What does that mean?  Does it hang forever?  Does it print some message?

Generally problems at this point mean you don't have a C compiler
installed, or the configure script can't make it work properly.

You can look at the config.log file for a full log.

However, this is not a GNU make problem: you must have a working C
compiler before you can compile GNU make.  You can try asking on a
newsgroup such as gnu.utils.help, or on an AIX-specific list or
newsgroup, and/or use Google to search for others with similar issues
on AIX.
