I have run into the same problem and was wondering what would it take
for the people in charge to export additional symbols?  

For example I am porting our X server to Xfree86 which accelerated fonts by
storing
some glyph information in graphics memory.  In our X server this was
implemented by allocating Font privates by calling
AllocateFontPrivateIndex()
but this is not an exported symbol. Now I cannot use this feature and text
drawing 
is 40% slower than what it was in our X server.

   This is a problem you are seeing with the existing code or only
after you modified something?   XFree86 modules can only resolve
symbols exported by the core server.  XFree86 modules do not link
to external libraries.
