After looking into this some more, I decided not to pursue this. The 
patch has a typo, and when I fixed the typo and debugged Emacs I found 
that the patch sometimes made Emacs crashed. Apparently the problem is 
that the dynamic linker uses gmalloc once the patch is made, and gmalloc 
is not compatible with what the dynamic linker expects. Oh well. Closing.
