Now that you mention it, I did have to patch Xerces-XML. I sent the
patches to Jason quite a while back, but never heard anything one way or
the other.
At any rate, try this (there's some AIX-specific things too). You may
have to play with the compiler strings in the 'hints' patches.

+Ah-ha! I've got it working! The samples work! The job's not done yet, but the
+end is in sight...
+
+Setting -Dbool=int in the Makefile.PL didn't help. The compiler issues a
+warning about the value being redefined, then uses the new value. The new
+value appears to come from my perl-5.6.1/lib/5.6.1/aix/CORE/handy.h file,
+which resets bool=char. I forced a fix by going into this file and changing
+the line there before doing the compile of Xerces for Perl. Specifically:
+
+===
+#ifndef HAS_BOOL
+# if defined(UTS) || defined(VMS)
+# define bool int
+# else
+// # define bool char
+# define bool int
+# endif
+# define HAS_BOOL 1
+#endif
+===
+
+Of course, this isn't the real solution. I've had to change the file back to
+prevent breakage in anything else I try to compile. I had a look in the
+xerces library code and found this in src/util/Transcoders/Iconv400/utypes.h:
+
+===
+#if ! HAVE_BOOL_T
+typedef int8_t bool_t;
+#endif
+===
+
+I'm not sure if that's the right file, but clearly the intention in the
+xerces code is for integer type booleans.
+
+So, if my assessment is right, the xerces library code wants ints, and the
+Perl library code wants chars, which means the Xerces-Perl code is going to
+have to bend around the issue, probably by ignoring the Perl header file and
+defining bool to be an int itself when compiled under AIX (or, presumably,
+any UNIX platform which Perl thinks should have char based bools).
+
+Quite how to sort this one out is, I think, a job for someone who has a
+better idea of how things fit together. :P
