When I byte-compile my Emacs-24 stuff with
Emacs-26 [1], I get the following errors
related to w3m [2].

Byte-compiling for/with Emacs-24 works without
a single error or warning.

BTW note that I do not wish to re-compile my
installed Emacs-w3m, since that might cause
problems for my Emacs-24 installation. I want
to have it work with Emacs-26 in parallel.

So maybe the best way is to download it, and
put it in a directory together with Emacs-26,
and to have a separate .emacs and .emacs.d for
Emacs-26?
