I tested your patch below successfully on our 2 AIX systems (4.3.2 and
5.1). I also verified that configure found the right profile for ptrace
and that infptrace.c compiled without any warning.

About configure finding the right profile, there is one thing I am not
sure about: The second parameter reported by configure is pid_t, while
the include file seem to be saying that it's an int on 4.3.2 and a
signed long on 5.1. There were no warnings during the build, so I
assumed all was right.
