Stumpwm will not install in any form.

I've tried building stumpwm from the AUR package, that does not work since it depends on clx, also in AUR, and clx will not compile (enters debug mode), since the latest version of sbcl.

On the stumwm mailing list, they recommend not using sbcl, due to stability. So to compile stump with clisp I build (from AUR) and install:
-clisp-new-clx
-cl-asdf

And then download stumpwm from git and do:

./configure --with-lisp=clisp

which restults in:

 /usr/bin/clisp -K full -on-error exit < ./make-image.lisp
   i i i i i i i       ooooo    o        ooooooo   ooooo   ooooo
   I I I I I I I      8     8   8           8     8     o  8    8
   I  \ `+' /  I      8         8           8     8        8    8
    \  `-+-'  /       8         8           8      ooooo   8oooo
     `-__|__-'        8         8           8           8  8
         |            8     o   8           8     o     8  8
   ------+------       ooooo    8oooooo  ooo8ooo   ooooo   8

I.e. an error. Does anyone know why it's behaving like this. I've installed the cl-asdf.

This probably doesn't help, but about 2 weeks ago I installed stumpwm with sbcl following the wiki line by line. No AUR packages. It works fine, with slime/emacs set up too.

Thanks, but I prefer installing it through pacman/AUR.

Using this new AUR package for clx I could install it, and compile the stumpwm-AUR using SBCL. So now I'm finally able to use stump in Arch; but still, I'd like to compile a cl-version, since SBCL has some issues.

Like Trindol, I installed stumpwm straight from git using quicklisp as described in the stumpwm README. This worked well for me. I couldn't see much point using packages as stumpwm is immensely hackable. The hex-color patch is a must have!

So which patches and repositories should I use?

I find it confusing that there are so many different patches submitted on the mail list and I don't know which have been submitted upstreams.

Which patches are recommended, and where can I find them, and what are their use?

There are many different repositories, like:
https://github.com/sabetts/stumpwm.git
https://github.com/dangerousben/stumpwm.git
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/stumpwm.git

But as I understand it, the first one is from the author (who basically abandoned the project) but there are some files there not too old, so this is the one that should be used?

Then there's:
https://github.com/tomoyuki28jp/stumpwm
