All configuration options used were listed in an attached spec file.
They happen to be:
--with-emacs \
--with-auctex-startfile=auctex.el \
--with-preview-startfile=preview-latex.el \
--with-texmf-dir=%{_datadir}/texmf
with the last line carried over from a spec file for auctex-11.53-1.
Admittedly I was not thinking about it too much.
You are right that changing these to
--with-emacs \
--with-auctex-startfile=auctex.el \
--with-preview-startfile=preview-latex.el
or even just to '--with-emacs', regardless of hints in INSTALL, will
work in my context just fine without any need of intervention into
makefiles. Still is somewhat nasty that explicitely stating a
default has such undesirable side-effects; besides somebody could
want to recompile things with a different layout.
One more thing about this spec file I attached in the original
message. Older versions were creating in %post scripts an
auctex-init.el startup file, or it could have been just added "by
hand". Now this name has changed. Therefore it is likely a good
idea to add in a %pre script of auctex-11.81 something of that sort:
oldinit=/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/site-start.d/auctex-init.el
[ -f $oldinit ] && mv $oldinit $oldinit.bak
or equivalent.
