What version of xlC are you using?  Seems to be in V6-V8 range from the
filesystem error message that you posted.  xlCentry is a component of the
compiler.

There are some issues with bjam's heap usage on AIX.  If the core is a
result of the heap issues, export LDR_CNTRL=MAXDATA=0x80000000 will give
bjam access to more heap.
