I don't think this has much to do with gnu or nongnu. Basically, none of the
developers, or earlier users of NAB, use AIX. So, it never gets tested.

The two are substantially different: AmberTools requires C and C++, plus a
fortran program capable of compiling mopac (so far, only g77 and gfortran are
known to work).
Amber mainly requires an F95 compiler, with much smaller dependency on C.
(We could almost get by without the need for a C compiler, but I think that
netcdf needs one.)
So, each needs to be correct.

But note that a great many of these are for tests that are never run.
Once CVS is cleaned up for Amber11, many will disappear.

Does this cause a problem? Is the space still required for any compilers?

I think we are already "there" for Amber.
