Then it is probably hung somewhere.

Can you arrach with a debugger and see where?
But if you don't have a build environment, you might not have a
debugger either...

Well, AIX 5.3 has been dead for over 6 years.

You really shouldn't be doing any of this, it is just asking for trouble.

Why not use a recent AIX with a recent PostgreSQL?

If there is a running 9.3 installation on AIX 5.3 somewhere that you have
to work with. upgrade ASAP by pg_dumping it with a recent PostgreSQL
and importing into a new environment.
