As "ld: 0711-224 WARNING: Duplicate symbol: .bcopy" seems to hit
many similar issues across different piece of software, I have a
suspicion that AIX folks (as opposed to Git folks) may have a lot
better insight to the peculiarity of the platform.

Running "make" with "V=1" may show the exact command line that is
invoked (it would begin with "gcc ...", I think), which may help
diagnosing the issue further.
