Hello Vladimir,

Free placement of variable declarations in C is ANSI standard since C99 and
can enhance readability of C-code a lot.

So, wouldn't it be much better, to just update your C-compiler on your
AIX-system?

(I'm not a texlive developer, so this is just my personal opinion.)

Cheers, Peter
