Yup, I usually build with NO_TCLTK=YesPlease in my config.mak, which
you can see from the link Peff posted.
When you said 'out of tree builds' I thought you meant using the AIX
defaults in the Makefile without running ./configure, but it seems
not, you meant is a clone of the tree buildable by itself or are only
release snapshots buildable. Sorry.
./configure is (deliberately) a second-class citizen in the world of
git, and may still get you a slightly suboptimal build compared with
the defaults on platforms such as AIX... e.g. it doesn't test for
performance-related switches such as INTERNAL_QSORT. If you have run
configure, there's some file you need to blow away to get back to a
non-autoconf world... is it config.mak.autogen?
Despite that, your problem with --without-tcltk falling back to wish,
but not falling back if that isn't installed does look like something
we should fix, as per Peff's mail.

I build with SHELL_PATH={path}/bash as well. If I don't, the test
suite exits after t0000-basic.sh with an unexpected error despite
passing all the tests.
gmake -C t/ all
gmake[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/gitbuild/t'
rm -f -r test-results
gmake aggregate-results-and-cleanup
gmake[2]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/gitbuild/t'
*** t0000-basic.sh ***
* passed all remaining 40 test(s)
FATAL: Unexpected exit with code 0
gmake[2]: *** [t0000-basic.sh] Error 1
gmake[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/gitbuild/t'
gmake[1]: *** [all] Error 2
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/gitbuild/t'
gmake: *** [test] Error 2
Is that what you're seeing? There's many more test scripts than that 8-)
With GIT_SKIP_TESTS='t3900 t3901 t5100.[12] t8005' (to omit some cases
not handled by the version of iconv I have access to on all the AIX
boxes I deploy to) the test suit runs to completion on AIX 5.3 for me.
BTW Are you running AIX's make or GNU make?
