Though I haven't tested the new feature discussed here, it seems that the proposed patch still needs refinement. AUCTeX falls into infinite loop after C-c C-c latex RET, if I let `TeX-output-dir' to be default value of nil. In addition, C-c C-c claen RET gives the error "Symbol's value as variable is void: mode-prefix". And after I set `TeX-output-dir' to "build", just C-c C-c gives the error "Symbol's value as variable is void: mode-prefix". Regards, Ikumi Keita
