I'll keep an eye on CVS for AF> changes to nsfonts.m and xdisp.c. I used the data member rename patch Austin and others suggested for two days now without problems. It lets Emacs build on Mac OS X and despite being insufficient as a full fix, at least the users don't have to wait for the full fix to have a working compile. I comitted this change to the Emacs CVS HEAD, including fixing the references to gidx in the xdisp.c docs, and will back it out (or anyone else can back it out) if it's a problem. I apologize in advance if that's the case. All the gidx references are changed to cmp_from, that's all it does.
