I can compile (64 bit) and run the following code without problem:

#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <netdb.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
        struct addrinfo *res;
        int rc;

        rc = getaddrinfo("localhost", "5432", NULL, &res);
        if (0 != rc) {
                if (EAI_SYSTEM == rc)
                        perror("System error");
                else
                        fprintf(stderr, "Error: %s\n",
gai_strerror(rc));
                return rc;
        }

        return 0;
}

5432 is not in /etc/services.

This is AIX 5.3 ML 3.
