Hi Jim,
Thank you for your report. None of the AUCTeX maintainer uses ConTeXt,
so inputs from ConTeXt user are valuable.

It is easy to remove "--texutil", but I'd like to ask whether it is safe
for older (before 2023) TeX distribution to do so. What was this option
"--texutil" for? Unfortunately, "context --help" of TeX Live 2024
doesn't give me useful information.

OK, then I'll change "--synctex=1" to "--synctex=repeat", expecting that
the situation about compatibility is the same for older ConTeXt.

The message is followed by "if your installation is older than the one
available from the web site.", isn't it? 🙂
