You should still be able to build gp-sta:
cd Oaix-ppc; make gp-sta

Maybe the support for building the PARI shared library is broken.
We do not have access to an AIX system to test it.

But Configure says:

Dynamic Lib linker is  /usr/bin/ld  -r

so this can explain the confusion.
Maybe you can try:
env LD=/usr/ccs/bin/ld ./Configure 
or even
env LD=/usr/ccs/bin/ld ./Configure --static

Cheers,
Bill.
