IBM limited the C compiler on AIX to only allow a certain number of
simultaneous invocations systemwide, based on the number of licenses
that have been purchased and installed on the system.  If you have 1
simultaneous-invocation license, then anyone else who invokes the
compiler will block you from being able to invoke it until their
invocation completes -- and then when yours is going, it will block
theirs.

Fortunately, there's a document from IBM that describes why you might
consider using GCC instead of the built-in C compiler.  It's available
at http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/aix/library/au-gnu.html .

However: Your issue is NOT with OpenSSL.  This is an AIX-platform
generic issue that affects much more than just OpenSSL compilation.
As such, it is inappropriate for this venue.  The bottom line is that
you need to buy more licenses for your built-in C compiler, or you
need to switch to using GCC (which doesn't have the simultaneous
invocation limitation).  OpenSSL itself is compiling just fine, albeit
slowly, from the make output you've posted.
