[slime-devel] slime + sbcl problems

[xpacman+slime-devel at gmail.com]

I have some compilation errors when trying to run slime (latest from CVS).
I tried 2 host configurations and got 2 different errors (both seem to
be related to missing linux_no_threads_p function):
1) Debian SARGE, GNU Emacs 21.4.1, SBCL 0.8.16
2) Fedora Core release 3 (Heidelberg), GNU Emacs 21.3.2, SBCL 0.8.18

-- my .emacs --------------------------------------------------------
