I presume this as well - however, harder to verify...

I guess I will have to install it, rather than only work from a test directory.

I believe int means signed on AIX as well - as the comment from the compiler is
that type "unsigned" is assumed for a bitfield.
Note: the single line of code is:
+382 short M: 1, N: 2, O: 3, P: 4, Q: 5, R: 6, S: 7;
And from your comments I am wondering if the fix is 'simple' - to:
+382 unsigned short M: 1, N: 2, O: 3, P: 4, Q: 5, R: 6, S: 7;
I can at least try that.
Looking at Python-3.6.0.0a2:
the line concerned is identical - so that is the verification (for now) that it
is also in Python3
