This may be a little late in reply, but I did manage to build gRPC v1.46.3
on AIX 7.2 for our project.
I use gcc 10 for AIX , and here is what I have to do to get it to build
export CC=gcc-10
export CXX=g++-10
export OBJECT_MODE=64
Build gRPC 1.46.3
make the following changes

I hope this helps others in getting AIX to build for their project.
