What I'm tempted to do is add this to pg_getaddrinfo_all (in
src/backend/libpq/ip.c):

  {
      /* not all versions of getaddrinfo() zero *result on failure */
      *result = NULL;

+ #ifdef _AIX
+    /* it seems AIX's getaddrinfo doesn't reliably zero sin_port */
+    if (servname == NULL)
+        servname = "0";
+ #endif
+
  #ifdef HAVE_UNIX_SOCKETS
      if (hintp->ai_family == AF_UNIX)
          return getaddrinfo_unix(servname, hintp, result);

Want to try that?
