I see, thanks. I guess this option is necessary for only rather old
context binaries and expect it can be removed safely for now.

Do you think AUCTeX should do smart action to avoid "--nonstopmode" when
"--synctex" is requested by the user, so that
(setq ConTeXt-texexec-option-nonstop "")
isn't necessary on the user side? It isn't difficult to have
"--nonstopmode" only when `TeX-source-correlate-mode' and
`TeX-interactive-mode' are nil.
