So reading more and more the config.log I found this: collect2: library libm not found Which is the first real error I found, doing more research I needed the basic lib math on the box. So I installed the bos.adt Math Library Package from AIX and voila!!! It configured and it's compiling as well. I hope this helps someone else in the future. Thank to you and everyone else.

I am looking for an aix emulator now. I have access to a powerpc system.
