Something odd is happening there.  The file that is being
compiled, slime.el, is not in
/home/charlie01/.emacs.d/elpa/slime-2.32/.  Instead, it is
in ../../../usr/local/share/slime.  What process are you
using to install Slime from the melpa-stable archive?

I have checked the ‘slime.el’ that comes with Slime version
2.32 and found that there is no instance of ‘static-if’ in
it.  Here are the four lines from the top of ‘slime.el’ for
Slime 2.32:

  ;; URL: https://github.com/slime/slime
  ;; Package-Requires: ((emacs "24.3") (macrostep "0.9"))
  ;; Keywords: languages, lisp, slime
  ;; Version: 2.32

The standard installation process using Emacs should install
Slime 2.32 in your directory:

   /home/charlie01/.emacs.d/elpa/slime-2.32/

You should be able to read ‘slime.el’ into an Emacs buffer
and confirm that it contains the lines, above.  Then check
the files that you have in ../../../usr/local/share/slime to
see what version is listed in the ‘slime.el’ in that
directory.
