Thanks for all answers.

Here my summary/solution:
./configure --with-egd-pool=/usr/local/etc/entropy-for-openssh 
on AIX uses the getaddrinfo shipped with AIX.
Somehow this doesn't work -
neither with 0.0.0.0 nor with a real IP-Adress....

Commenting out
/* #define HAVE_GETADDRINFO 1 */
in config.h uses the fake-getnameinfo.c-Version which works.


This leaves the Question:
  a) is the AIX-getaddrinfo wrong
or
  b) is the call to getaddrinfo by openssh wrong?
