Okay, firstly thank you, perhaps i can be helpful, by testing the patch on OSX?
Perhaps even fixing any issues that arise due to OSX?

I've just tried to compile wine by going:
git clone git://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git wine-git
brew install --only-dependencies --devel wine

And that failed, so i'll have to fix that, so that we'll know whether it's the
patch that's the problem or not.

Once i do get that working, which patch would i apply, and how? And as for
32bit wine, how would i do that?

Sorry for being such a noob at this, but i'm afraid it can't be helped right
now.
