Does it work if you just
% configure --with-ns
?

That is in config.h now.

Yes, compilation finishes then. It makes no difference whether I use  
MacPorts or Fink and whether the compiler is

 • powerpc-apple-darwin9-llvm-gcc-4.2 (GCC) 4.2.1 (Based on Apple  
Inc. build 5555) (LLVM build 2064.3)
 • powerpc-apple-darwin9-gcc-4.2.1 (GCC) 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5577)
 • powerpc-apple-darwin9-gcc-4.0.1 (GCC) 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5493)

My test started with that simple configure line and MacPorts and then  
a 'make bootstrap'. This took hours, followed by 'make install'. The  
next step was a new configuration followed by make and 'make install',  
taking approximately 20-25 min. So I produced six versions of  
Emacs.app. None really worked. When I launched them with open they  
crashed at some time when initialising/executing my init file and re- 
establishing previous session and desktop. When I invoked the Emacs  
binary inside the application bundle with '--debug-init -Q' and I  
invoked dired with C-x d and accepted the root of the GNU Emacs'  
sources as directory with RET the NS variant instantly crashed.

	./configure  --with-ns --with-wide-int

with "powerpc-apple-darwin9-gcc-4.0.1 (GCC) 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build  
5493)" also succeeds, same with "powerpc-apple-darwin9-gcc-4.2.1 (GCC)  
4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5577)". Simple make and 'make bootstrap' with  
"powerpc-apple-darwin9-llvm-gcc-4.2 (GCC) 4.2.1 (Based on Apple Inc.  
build 5555) (LLVM build 2064.3)" end with this consistently:

	Loading .../emacs-24.1.50/lisp/composite.el (source)...
	Loading .../emacs-24.1.50/lisp/language/chinese.el (source)...
	Wrong type argument: sequencep, 130257792809520
	make[2]: *** [bootstrap-emacs] Error 1

The two built and installed pieces of Emacs.app are completely  
useless, they can't even create the initial frame, they already crash  
before they can appear.
