Building Emacs on MacOS 10.14 results in a non-functional GUI. 

With the following commits from scratch/ns-drawing the GUI is working
again:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-diffs/2018-08/msg00152.html
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-diffs/2018-08/msg00150.html
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-diffs/2018-08/msg00151.html

But I still see the reported error on start and Emacs sporadically
crashes.
