Both of these should have been fixed in git, and in the snapshot tarball I linked earlier :|

I don't have access to an AIX system, so testing these changes is a tiny bit cumbersome, but I'll try my best.

A possible workaround might be to configure with --with-module-dir=/opt/local/syslog-ng/lib (that is, the value should be the same as $libdir, which is
$prefix/lib). That way, the modules get installed into the same dir as libsyslog-ng, instead of into a subdirectory. If that doesn't help, then I can think of
two workarounds:

 1) Install the libs to somewhere on the default linker search path (ugh..)
 2) Write a small shell script that sets LIBPATH, and executes the real syslog-ng binary (iirc this is the approach syslog-ng PE takes on some platforms)
