The old Slime is unlikely to work with modern implementations.

Hi list,

I'm still using XEmacs because many additional non-official
packages that I made were installed. Now I'm makeing slime
package but failed compiling on lib/ert-x.el (full log in [1]):

I know that slime does not work on XEmacs stable
version. What I want to know is which slime version could be
run on xemacs-21.4.24. My compiling environments are as
follows:

kiri@smtp:~[1002]% uname -a
FreeBSD smtp 13.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 13.0-CURRENT #0 r339677M: Fri Oct 26 14:56:49 JST 2018     root@msrvkx:/usr/obj/usr/src/amd64.amd64/sys/XIJ  amd64
