First, why are you using bash on AIX?

Second, make is part of AIX and should be in /usr/bin/make
Run: whence make
to determine which you are using.

The error looks like a problem with the binary file - did you fill the disk while installing it or could it have been corrupted some how?

Are you are a current level of AIX 5.3
Run: oslevel -s
and go look for the latest Technology Level and Service Packs.

If you are trying to use the open source make from the AIX Linux toolbox then support is going to be tricky.

You could try a newer compile for AIX from http://www.perzl.org/aix/
