        Hmmm.... this seems to happen because slime-inferior-process
is defined via slime-def-connection-var somewhere after the first
reference to it. Reordering these will probably solve the problem; I
was able to compile the file by evaluating (defmacro
slime-def-connection-var ...) and (slime-def-connection-var
slime-inferior-process ...) before calling byte-recompile-directory.

        For reference:

        slime-def-connection-var is defined on line 1687;
        slime-inferior-process is defined on line 1754;
        slime-inferior-process is referenced on line 1341 and 1380
           (i.e, before the definition)
