Well, it was a long shot.
I would say your best bet is if SuSE updates their package for 21.5.
While building XEmacs from scratch is not hard as such, it sounds like
you are used to the configuration SuSE provides and it might be
tedious to reproduce that, as some new configuration possibilities
have been added since 21.5.18. You would also have to install
compilers and the development versions of the libraries used, which is
rather tedious if you don't have a program build environment already.
It's hard to recommend it for those reasons.
Upgrading the LISP packages (from the SUMO tarballs you have
downloaded) may be a good idea for other reasons, but it is very
unlikely to solve this issue, because selection handling is a "core"
function; you'd need to get the core source code from
ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/beta/xemacs-21.5.22.tar.gz
and compile it.
The remaining possibility would be to get the XEmacs 21.4.17 package
from SuSE. This is the simplest, but you may have some problems with
Unicode, which has become more pervasive in recent releases.
