I recognize this one.  I just had a machine moved from AIX 5.3 to 6.1, and a
simple
./configure; make resulted in these errors.

In _my_ case I had to have the guy _also_ install a newer version of the gcc
toolchain
because the old one points to 'old' copies of .h files rather than the 'new'
ones that
know how to resolve these symbols.

Also don't forget to use the patches described in
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2886598&group_id=12694&atid=312694


I searched the patch database for AIX & 6
to get the title '*patch that allows net-snmp 5.4.2.1 to compile on AIX 6.1'
