Are you sure the "c:" part will work?

The setting of --with-auto-dir is not a good idea.  Style files should
_not_ be in `load-path'.

When you load the file, do you see in the *Messages* buffer graphicx.el
being loaded?

Are there any errors in the *Messages* buffer after starting Emacs or
loading a LaTeX file?

Isn't "c:/gnu/elisp/" the directory where you keep the AUCTeX sources?
Did you actually run `make' and `make install'?

Does this mean the "c:/gnu/elisp/" stuff is in the Makefile?  Could you
perhaps send the part of the Makefile where the variables like `prefix'
and `styledir' are defined?
