That works for me. Here is a new patch, tested on AIX 5.3.

    Add 'getthrds' declaration check in configure for AIX
    
    On newer versions of AIX (6.x and later), this function is actually
    declared in procinfo.h, thus causing a compilation warning when we
    re-declare it ourselves. This patch adds a configure check for that
    function allowing us to declare the function only if the declaration
    isn't already present in one of procinfo system header.

            PR gdb/12116:
            * configure.ac: Add getthrds declaration check.
            * configure, config.in: Regenerate.
            * aix-thread.c (getthrds): Declare only if not already declared
            in procinfo.h.  More declaration out of get_signaled_thread to
            global scope.
