Hello Michael,
We have just released PARI 2.5.1 which fix this problem.

Yes, you should just remove --export-dynamic and
-rpath "/usr/local/source/pari-2.5.0"/Oaix-ppc:"/usr/local/lib":/usr/lib -L"/usr/local/source/pari-2.5.0/Oaix-ppc" from the compiler option.  

What linker are you using ?
Could you send us the whole output of Configure ?
This would allow us to improve support for AIX.

Cheers,
Bill.
