This function is not defined.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
emacs-version is a variable defined in ‘C source code’.

Its value is "29.0.50"

Version numbers of this version of Emacs.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

But

So in short, that might explain why I can't compile (or why it takes so
long)?

The problem are the add-ons, I need on a daily base and which I have to
rewrite. Mind you I am still using 2.35.

It does not. So I cannot compile.

If I understand you correctly: I should have a version, for the
moment just for compiling the main auctex branch purpose, but not my
daily use? 

That would make testing, I mean real testing for a new feature for real
world documents difficult, 

Since as I said if I compile and install say the current master version,
I cannot use it in my daily workflow and could not test real world
documents, at least not for the next two months.
