We are using GNU gcc, GNU make and still ghostscript will not compile.

does 'man mkstemp' show anything on your system? I think it is just the configure logic getting a bit confused about mkstemp64 existing on 64-bit platform where mkstemp exists. "-DHAVE_MKSTEMP -DHAVE_FILE64 -DHAVE_MKSTEMP64" is obviously not true!
Created attachment 3795 [details] Output of man mkstemp (pqtst) /root/charles/src/perl # man mkstemp Technical Reference: Base Operating System and Extensions, Volume 1 mktemp or mkstemp Subroutine Purpose Constructs a unique file name. Libraries Standard C Library (libc.a) Berkeley Compatibility Library (libbsd.a) Syntax #include <stdlib.h> char *mktemp ( Template) char *Template; int mkstemp ( Template) char *Template; Description The mktemp subroutine replaces the contents of the string pointed to by the Template parameter with a unique file name. Note: The mktemp subroutine creates a filename and checks to see if the file exist. It that file does not exist, the name is returned. If the user calls mktemp twice without creating a file using the name returned by the first call to mktemp, then the second mktemp call may return the same name as the first mktemp call since the name does not exist. To avoid this, either create the file after calling mktemp or use the mkstemp subroutine. The mkstemp subroutine creates the file for you. To get the BSD version of this subroutine, compile with Berkeley Compatibility Library (libbsd.a). The mkstemp subroutine performs the same substitution to the template name and also opens the file for reading and writing. In BSD systems, the mkstemp subroutine was intended to avoid a race condition between generating a temporary name and creating the file. Because the name generation in the operating system is more random, this race condition is less likely. BSD returns a file name of / (slash). Former implementations created a unique name by replacing X's with the process ID and a unique letter. Parameters Template Points to a string to be replaced with a unique file name. The string in the Template parameter is a file name with up to six trailing X's. Since the system randomly generates a six-character string to replace the X's, it is recommended that six trailing X's be used. Return Values Upon successful completion, the mktemp subroutine returns the address of the string pointed to by the Template parameter. If the string pointed to by the Template parameter contains no X's, and if it is an existing file name, the Template parameter is set to a null character, and a null pointer is returned; if the string does not match any existing file name, the exact string is returned. Upon successful completion, the mkstemp subroutine returns an open file descriptor. If the mkstemp subroutine fails, it returns a value of -1.

Hmm, can you post the result of 1) man mkstemp64 2) ./configure >& config.output the file config.output, and config.log
Since it's been six months with no reply to comment #3 I'm closing this. If this is still an active issue please reopen.
The fix was likely r8923 - AIX has a strange system whereby mkstemp64 is in libc but not in the includes, so ./configure (trying linking with libc) indicates the presence of mkstemp64 but src/gp_unifs.c failed due to missing prototype.
