What do you see if you do:

  • emacs -Q
  • C-h f loaddefs-generate-batch RET in scratch

This is what I get:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
loaddefs-generate-batch is an autoloaded Lisp function in
‘loaddefs-gen.el’.

[Arg list not available until function definition is loaded.]

Generate loaddefs.el files in batch mode.
This scans for ;;;###autoload forms and related things.

The first element on the command line should be the (main)
loaddefs.el output file, and the rest are the directories to
use.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

BBDB is showing age, so I moved to EBDB, note that it has a manual as
well ;-)

Thanks.

Yes, and we have to find out why.  If the Emacs you're using to compile
AUCTeX doesn't have the function above, we can stop right away.  So
please make you have an recent version at hand, then we can proceed.

For me, 'time make -j8' returns:

    real    0m25.407s
    user    2m35.401s
    sys     0m17.996s

on a MacBook Air M2.
