I think dropping the feature from AUCTeX isn't necessary; one should be
careful how to use it.  At any rate, I think I have an opinion about
rifling this function through a texmf-tree, but of course I leave the
final decision to the distros.

Thanks for the clarification.

Thanks, that reminds me of an issue we had in our test suite, but before
looking at that, have you tried to run your setup with font-latex
disabled?  So something like this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
%if %{with tex4auto}
        pwd
        echo "Run the command TeX-auto-generate-global in mini buffer"
        emacs-gtk -batch -Q -L %{buildroot}%{_sitedir}/auctex             \
            --eval '(setq TeX-lisp-directory "%{buildroot}%{_aucdir}")'   \
            --eval "(setq TeX-install-font-lock #'ignore)"                \     
   
            --eval '(setq TeX-auto-global "%{buildroot}%{_aucdir}/auto")' \
            -l %{buildroot}%{_sitedir}/tex-site.el -f TeX-auto-generate-global
        exit 1
%else
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Maybe that helps.

Ok, thanks.
