Installing locally python3 on AIX

Question

I'm trying to locally install python3 (3.5.2) interpreter on AIX 7.1 I used this to configure, which runs ok

CC=gcc OPT="-O2" ./configure --enable-shared --prefix=$HOME/usr/local

but I get error while doing make altinstall

/tmp/python3-src/Python-3.5.2 $ make altinstall prefix=$HOME/usr/local exec-prefix=$HOME/usr/local

Stop.

I checked /usr/include for those missing declarations and it looks like they are there. Do I have to somehow specify path to these includes manually when doing local installation?

/usr/include $ grep -R "#define AT_EACCESS" .
./fcntl.h:#define AT_EACCESS            1       /* Check access using effective
/usr/include $ grep -R "#define AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW" .
./fcntl.h:#define AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW   1       /* Do not follow symbolic links */

When compile,

The folowing error occured,

/Modules/posixmodule.c:2142:48: error: 'AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW' undeclared (first use in this function)
                              follow_symlinks ? 0 : AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW);

posixmodule.c line 2142 as below, fstatat methods was used in here;

#ifdef HAVE_FSTATAT
    if ((dir_fd != DEFAULT_DIR_FD) || !follow_symlinks)
        result = fstatat(dir_fd, path->narrow, &st,
                         follow_symlinks ? 0 : AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW);
    else
#endif

So this fix; should be applied to solve this problem.
