Reported upstream:
https://github.com/JuliaEditorSupport/julia-emacs/issues/199

It comes from a discrepancy introduced by Emacs 29; also reported:
https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=66763

Well, I fixed the build of emacs-julia-mode.  See attached.

But emacs-ess is not passing.  I have updated ESS to the most recent
revision, added phases for skipping the tests requiring network but it
still fails:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Ran 187 tests, 176 results as expected, 6 unexpected, 5 skipped
(2023-10-27 01:12:40+0000, 17.661319 sec) 2 expected failures

6 unexpected results:
   FAILED ess-eval-line-test FAILED ess-eval-region-test FAILED
   ess-mock-remote-process FAILED ess-r-load-ESSR-github-fetch-no FAILED
   ess-set-working-directory-test FAILED ess-test-r-startup-directory
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

To be continued…

Cheers, simon
