I would be very grateful for any advice on this matter.
Pascal,
To the best of my knowledge there has been no active development of
OpenAFS on any AIX release since January 2015. At that time the AIX 6
build machine was removed from the build farm because the organization
that provided it for many years could no longer afford to do so.
It does not surprise me if over the last two years there has been
drift between OpenAFS and AIX; especially a new major release of AIX.
To answer your question, I am unaware of anyone that has installed
OpenAFS on AIX 7.1.
If you can provide more details on the failure, perhaps the community
can assist?
If the ability to use OpenAFS on AIX 7.1 is important to your
institution, perhaps it would be willing to provide a build host for use
by the developer community.

Jeffrey,
thank you very much for clarifying this.
I will inquire if the university can provide a build-host with AIX7 on
our former PowerPC-server. This may or may not be feasible, according to
administrative policies or product licenses.
The options used are
##
./configure -with-afs-sysname=rs_aix61 --enable-tivoli-tsm \\
--enable-transarc-paths --disable-pam --includedir=/usr/include
##
After copying the binaries manually to /usr/afs/ and /usr/vice/etc/
according to
https://wiki.openafs.org/archive/HowToBuildOpenAFSFromSource/
and executing rc.afs, the server freezes and reboots.
Pascal
