In this line from the make log: 

 /opt/tools/nagios/perl/bin/perl /opt/tools/nagios/perl/lib/5.2
+0.1/ExtUtils/xsubpp  -noprototypes -typemap /opt/tools/nagiosc

[download]

the -typemap param of xsubpp specifies a file which contains data-type mappings between C and XS (see xsubpp). My default typemap file (in /usr/share/perl5/ExtUtils/typemap) starts with these:

# basic C types
int                     T_IV
unsigned                T_UV
unsigned int            T_UV
long                    T_IV
unsigned long           T_UV
...

The above command line specifies the typemap file to be /opt/tools/nagiosc. If this is indeed a file and a typemap file then you could try adding a line like this:

u_longlong_t           T_UV

[download]

or, if indeed T_ULONGLONG exists in Perl,:

u_longlong_t           T_ULONGLONG

[download]

The type u_longlong_t most likely refers to C's unsigned long long (a long is 4 bytes, this must be 8 but that's probably system dependent). And must be known to AIX as it is mentioned in libperfstat.h which contains the function signature for perfstat_memory_total() used by arch/aix.xs in Sys::MemInfo.

The XS files for other systems in Sys::Meminfo, e.g. linux.xs etc. use a double for the return type of the meminfo functions e.g. arch/linux.xs.

The quick hack would be to replace u_longlong_t with double in file arch/aix.xs

So, either get a typemap file which contains said datatype mapping (googling got me one for CORBA::omniORB at https://metacpan.org/source/HOUSEL/CORBA-omniORB-0.9/typemap) or replace mapping with a double like the other os's do and see if that works.
