Yes, welcome into the strange world of AIX...
You can allow up to 8 segments, which represent 2GB:

We could change the option to become:
--with-aix-maxdata=value
where value could be between 0 and 8, with a default at 0 (nothing passed to the compiler).
Would that be OK with you?
The good news is that thanks to this patch I was able to play the full python test suite on AIX:
313 tests OK.
8 tests failed:
test_asyncore test_cmath test_distutils test_fileio test_locale
test_resource test_time test_wait4
16 tests skipped:
test_ctypes test_curses test_dbm_gnu test_epoll test_gdb
test_kqueue test_largefile test_ossaudiodev test_pep277
test_startfile test_tk test_ttk_guionly test_unicode_file
test_winreg test_winsound test_zipfile64
Not too bad.
